The 2024 Summer Olympic Games are right around the corner. Watching the best of the best compete to bring home a gold medal to their home country is about as thrilling as it gets in sports. But this year, the Paris games will be of particular interest to those living in Elkhorn and Walworth County, as we will watch one of our own, Payton Jacobson, wrestle for Team USA on August 7th and 8th!

Payton has worked incredibly hard to get one step closer to achieving his dream of an Olympic Gold for Team USA. Like all Olympic athletes, he has trained tirelessly and sacrificed to make this dream a reality. But, to have his family and close friends with him in Paris, during the biggest moment of his life, requires additional support. While Team USA covers travel and housing for athletes and their coaches, family members are on their own to pay for those costs, including tickets to see the events.
Shortly after Payton secured a spot in Paris, Elkhorn residents started fundraising efforts with a benefit dinner. Stebnitz Builders joined several area businesses to help cover costs for the event. This allowed the funds raised from the dinner tickets and raffles that evening to go directly to the cause. Family, friends, coaches (from youth wrestling in Elkhorn through college wrestling at Northern Michigan University), and many others came to share their experiences with Payton along his path to Paris. Payton joined the event via ZOOM, at 3 am Croatian time, where he continues training before the games.

In addition, friends have also established a GoFundMe page, dedicated to helping his "biggest fans" join him in Paris. His parents, Sheri and Aaron, and two siblings Cammi and Bryce, are hoping to be there, right by his side. We would love for you to join us, supporting Payton and his family.

While very few will reach "Olympic" status, many of us still have our own fitness and lifestyle goals we work hard to achieve. One way to accomplish this is by bringing your workout facility to you! Our team has helped many clients create a personal gym in their own homes. Here are a few examples of how we've done it.
Building Strength in Your Own Space

In this project, we converted a bonus room in our clients' lower level into the perfect space to sneak away for a quick workout. Replacing the carpet with rubber matting, provided additional cushion to the floor and sound-deadening properties to the room. Adding mirrors on three of four walls allowed our clients to see they use proper form in their exercises.
Training with a View

For those of us living in Wisconsin year-round, we know that our options for swimming comfortably outdoors are limited to 4-5 months a year. The addition we built for our clients included an indoor Endless Lap Pool, providing flexibility to train year-round and a hot tub to relax in and enjoy the gorgeous views of Delavan Lake.
Giving an Artist the Space to
Practice Their Craft

Dance requires a tremendous amount of strength and flexibility to master. Our clients needed extra space in their home for their children to go that extra mile, dedicated to an art they love to perform. To achieve this, we converted their lower-level bonus room into a gorgeous dance studio, making it a warm and inviting space to practice.
