  1. Gentry Viers | Baseball Fan Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, Gentry Viers grew up to love a few things in life; Kansas-styled barbeque, the outdoors, and baseball. Baseball, known as America’s favorite pastime, is a sport that Viers has followed all his life. His favorite team is the Kansas City Royals, one of the top franchises in the professional leagues. In his teenage years, Gentry Viers’ parents used to take him to games on the weekends, and the trips are something he looked forward to. In high school, Gentry Viers played for the school team. Since he had a solid understanding of the game even before he was old enough to handle a bat, it came as no surprise that Gentry was good enough to be the team’s designated hitter. On a couple of occasions, he was known to hit the ball so hard, his bat cracked.

  2. Gentry Viers - Master of Trauma A patriot with an unquestionable love for his country, Gentry Viers enlisted in the military in 2001 and served in the Navy for six years. During this time, he did two tours of duty in Iraqi at the height of Operation Iraqi Freedom. His responsibilities while on duty were as naval foreman and trauma expert. As the foreman, he was in charge of setting up camp shelters whenever troops moved to new locations. A man who loved the outdoors when he was young and often built forts in the forests, this work was second nature to him. The work of a trauma specialist was more complex. “I am thankful I never lost a patient in my two tours of duty. Seeing my brothers come back stronger motivated me to work even harder at my craft,” he says.

  3. Gentry Viers : Baseball’s Health Benefits Growing up close to Kansas City, Gentry Viers’ love of baseball started at a young age. His parents would often drive him to the city during summer weekends to catch a game, and from this experience he started to play with friends. All through high school and in the military, Gentry has kept the fire for the game alive by playing with friends, and has never missed an opportunity to play. If you are looking for a way to get healthy through sports, why not consider baseball? As Gentry Viers acknowledges, this is a game that will not only help you get physically fit, it will enable you to interact with friends.

  4. Helping Children Deal with Trauma A Trauma specialist who served in the United States Navy, Gentry Viers has seen his fair share of trauma patients. Tasked with helping fellow soldiers recover and rejoin battle, Gentry worked hard to ensure that each of his patients was 100 percent recovered before allowing them to rejoin combat.
