Rebecca Barnard, a former national-level synchronized swimmer and forestry professional, left a high-powered career after moving to Green Bay in January 2021 to mentor young Mason through Big Brothers Big Sisters—teaching him to swim and sharing local adventures like hiking and sailing with Green Bay Sail & Paddle. Mason, who was matched with Rebecca in June 2022 and is now 14, said his first sailing experience left him saying he had the time of his life.
