Mr. Amundson is a third-generation logger. His family moved to Red Bluff in 1961 as his father’s company did all the tree falling for John Wheeler Logging. He always loved working in the woods and enjoyed following in his father’s footsteps. He later switched career paths from logging to physical therapy. In 2019, Mr. Amundson had an accident while working with a friend to remove eucalyptus trees. This accident left him as a complete T-4 level paraplegic confined to a wheelchair and unable to continue with his therapy career. Mr. Amundson enjoys serving as a board member with the RCDTC as he loves supporting the great outdoors.
