Contestant Data
Name: Gerald Wheeler
Hometown: North Little Rock, AR

I am Gerald Wheeler and I currently live in Arkansas; I am from Idaho originally and still have not gotten used to virtually no snow. I have been working with stained glass for about 5 years. My wife, Katherine, gave me a starter set for Christmas one year and it has really grown from there. I mainly give everything I make away however I have made several pieces to sell as requests came in. I have worked on everything from night lights and lighthouses to lamps and large panels. I mainly work with copper foil however I would love to try lead came. This will be my first contest for stained glass and I am really looking forward to the challenge.

I am married and have five (yes, five) children ranging in age from 18-24. The youngest are twin boys that will graduate from high school this spring. Then I can change the locks and move, right? My other hobbies include camping and baseball card collecting.

Best of luck to all my fellow soldiers.
