 Mark Reiman is a co-founder and publisher of Incredible
People Magazine and is the editor-in-chief. He was diagnosed with A.L.S. (Lou Gehrig's
Disease) in 1991. To create greater awareness of ALS and share a message of hope and
determination, he became the first person in history to sing the national anthem in every
major league baseball park in one season (1998), for which he now holds a certified
Guinness World Record. One of his best memories of the anthem tour is getting to throw out
the first pitch in Kansas City. The worst is hitting the 70-year old photographer with the
ball. Along with writing for and publishing the magazine, Mark speaks to audiences around
the U.S. and is the author of the book, Through The Perilous Fight: Living a Life of
Challenge. Mark and his wife Julie belong to college age twins and a pug-dog named Murphy
just a little north of Seattle. Email Mark at Mark@IncrediblePeople.com |

 Jim Mulenos is a co-founder and publisher of Incredible
People Magazine and operates as our CEO and CFO. Jim is a software developer by profession but is also a true
multi-talented, Renaissance man...musician, athlete, philosopher, great dad, and amazing
fixer of most anything screwed up. He always said that when he grew up he would do three
things he wasn't allowed to as a child: jump on the bed, sing at the dinner table, and
ride his bike in the house. So he does. Jim, his wife and daughter divide work, school,
and play time between the Seattle WA and Sun Valley, Idaho. Email Jim at Jim@IncrediblePeople.com |
