THE LATEST HOMETOWN HAPPENINGS AROUND FISHERS Writer / Larry Lannan
The sun peeked through clouds at times, offering warm but comfortable weather — most importantly, with no rain — to welcome the large crowd at the 2025 Spark!Fishers Festival on Saturday, June 28. The street fair at the municipal complex and the ever-popular parade through the Nickel Plate District drew residents and visitors alike. As I strolled through the festival grounds, it was clear that everyone was enjoying themselves. This event remains one of the few annual opportunities for the Fishers community and its neighbors to come together and celebrate. The weeklong festival, which began Tuesday, June 24, featured a lively lineup including concerts, a drone show, fireworks, a 5K run and an evening dedicated to classic cars and local artists. All festivities culminated in Saturday’s vibrant street fair and parade. On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved Americans were informed of their freedom following the Civil War’s end — a date now commemorated as Juneteenth, a federal holiday since 2021. Fishers marked this historic occasion in 2025 with a Jubilee held at Conner Prairie. Organized by the Future Black Leaders Club of Fishers High School and the Fishers Arts Council, the event attracted a large, diverse crowd under ideal late June weather. Numerous commercial vendors, nonprofit organizations and 6 | August 2025 | TownePost.com
government agencies — including the Fishers Health Department and Hamilton East Library — participated, creating a meaningful celebration of freedom and community. In education news, Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) Schools Chief Financial Officer Tim Brown provided a detailed financial update to the school board on June 25. Despite challenges posed by Indiana’s new school funding legislation, Brown and Superintendent Patrick Mapes expressed cautious optimism, noting that HSE is wellpositioned compared to other districts in the state to navigate these changes. Regarding district size, HSE is among Indiana’s largest school districts, enrolling just over 21,000 students. While some sources rank HSE as the third-largest, others place it fourth, depending on how Indianapolis Public Schools’ enrollment is counted — whether including only districtrun schools or also its Innovation Network charter schools. This nuance explains the differing rankings and leaves the choice of which figure to use open to interpretation. Two new administrators were hired through the school board’s June actions. Tilmon Clark is the new co-athletic director at Hamilton Southeastern High School. Lauren Doran is the next assistant principal at Cumberland Road Elementary School.
Also, HSE District Teacher of the Year Michael Teal accepted a certificate from the board for his award. In local leadership, Fishers Chief of Police Ed Gebhart, who joined the Fishers Police Department 25 years ago after moving from California, was honored on June 16 for his dedicated service in the position. Mayor Scott Fadness praised Gebhart’s leadership before the City Council, stating, “We are safer and better for it.” The Fishers City Council engaged in a pointed discussion on zoning policy before approving a rezone request by Pulte Homes for a 21-home development at 11052 Cumberland Road. The Gerardot Planned Unit Development (PUD) spans 9.15 acres and was rezoned specifically for this project by a 6-2 vote. Councilman Brad DeReamer criticized the plan, citing concerns about insufficient space for heating and air conditioning units, and reiterated his view that PUDs often bypass the city’s zoning ordinances. In contrast, Council President Pete Peterson supported the use of PUDs, arguing that they enable the city to negotiate favorable changes with developers.

FROM ARMY INTELLIGENCE TO CORPORATE SECURITY ADAM TSCHERNE LEADS EVENT RISK’S GROWTH Writer / Renée Larr Photographer / Wade Carignan
8 | August 2025 | TownePost.com
A
dam Tscherne’s career transition from the U.S. Army to Event Risk in 2024 is a testament to his unique blend of operational expertise and deep-rooted sense of service. After a distinguished 20-year career in military intelligence and public affairs, Tscherne sought a civilian role that would allow him to continue serving. His decision to join Event Risk as vice president of operations in August was a perfect fit. Event Risk, a veteran-owned and -operated firm, is not just a security provider. It’s a proactive partner that specializes in corporate security and executive protection services. The company’s guiding question — “What keeps you up at night?” — is more than a tagline. It’s a commitment to understanding and mitigating the risks that keep clients awake, whether they’re based in the U.S. or abroad. Since Tscherne’s arrival, the company has experienced significant growth, driven by his leadership and an increasingly complex business landscape that demands agile, tailored security solutions. Tscherne’s role at Event Risk is a natural extension of his military background. As a former all-source intelligence officer, he analyzed complex threats by actively gathering and synthesizing data from various sources, including the NSA, CIA and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. His mission was to transform raw intelligence into actionable insights that could protect troops and inform strategy. “It’s a bit like writing a massive research paper,” Tscherne said. “You have a problem, and you gather everything you can to understand it — where threats are, what they look like, what they’re planning — so you can protect your team and gain the advantage.” Today, Tscherne brings that same analytical mindset to the corporate world. As vice president of operations, he serves as the internal backbone of the company, overseeing client requests, deploying resources, managing personnel and ensuring the flawless execution of services from the first call to the final invoice.

WHAT KEEPS YOU UP AT NIGHT? Event Risk’s core offerings include executive protection, armed and unarmed physical security, and risk consulting. While its client roster leans heavily toward Fortune 500 companies, including many in the Fortune 100 and even the top 20, the company’s true niche lies in its ability to build trusting relationships regardless of size. “We’re not a staffing agency,” Tscherne said. “We’re not going to be the cheapest option, and we’re OK with that. We’re providing professionals, not placeholders ... security experts who deliver real peace of mind.”
is skyrocketing. And Event Risk is scaling to meet that demand without sacrificing its standards. Under the leadership of CEO Eric Rose and Tscherne’s operational oversight, Event Risk is on the cusp of transitioning out of the “small business” classification, with a headcount set to surpass 1,000 employees in the coming month. It’s a milestone that brings both challenges and opportunities.
concerns — even if they don’t end up as clients. “If someone owns a business and they’re losing sleep because they feel unsafe, we’ll talk with them,” he said. “My time is free. Let’s figure out what’s going on and how we can help.”
In the next five years, Tscherne envisions Event Risk not only growing in size but continuing to refine its approach, scaling “Eric built the company on relationships smartly, investing in talent and staying and client trust,” Tscherne said. “He brought aligned with its mission. me in because he couldn’t do it all anymore.

Writer / Julie Yates
On Sunday, Sept. 7, the Fishers location of Connection Pointe Christian Church will celebrate its grand reopening. After a soft launch, the church has been busy this summer providing activities and fellowship outreach within the community. With a long history in central Indiana dating back to 1837, church leadership is humbled and grateful to launch a second site in Hamilton County. The Fishers location at 12625 Cumberland Road joins Avon, Brownsburg and Carmel in Connection Pointe Christian Church’s mission to connect people to Jesus and each other. Service is at 11 a.m. with children and students programming available for families. “We had been praying many years about Hamilton County,” said Denise McCleese, Executive Pastor of Strategy and Engagement. “As a multigenerational 12 | August 2025 | TownePost.com

and globally through digital tools that help people follow Jesus daily on their phones and in their life and support the church’s 26 full-time missionaries around the world.” McCleese said God has given them an opportunity in Hamilton County, and it’s one the church does not take lightly. “We want to reach the lost, raise disciples to go into the community, follow Jesus and love our neighbor. We are super excited to be in Fishers, and we hope people in the community will check us out,” she said. Offering digital tools — including CP+, a spiritual fitness app, livestream services every weekend, podcasts and Daily Hope, a daily devotional text message — is part of the church’s outreach.

NONPROFIT OF THE MONTH
1 MILLION PAIRS DONATED VOLUNTEER-RUN CHANGING FOOTPRINTS MARKS 20 YEARS OF PROVIDING SHOES AND DIGNITY Writer / Renée Larr
In a world where consumerism often overshadows compassion, Changing Footprints quietly continues its mission of putting shoes on the feet of those in need — one pair at a time. Now in its 20th year, the entirely volunteer-run nonprofit has distributed nearly 1 million pairs of shoes to people locally and globally — all without a single paid staff member. The founders established the organization based on a simple but powerful belief: Volunteers wanted to make a tangible difference, not just write checks. That grassroots ethos still drives Changing Footprints today, with operations across five Indiana communities — North Indianapolis, South Indianapolis, Avon, Greenfield, Fort Wayne and Rushville — each structured to respond to their unique local needs. “We’ve always believed in building a nonprofit that serves volunteers as much as it serves recipients,” said North Indy coordinator Bob Broughton. “Some people love collecting shoes from our 40-plus drop-off sites, others prefer sorting, and some contribute behind the scenes with inventory or logistics. It’s about offering people the chance to contribute in their own way.” Currently, the North Indy chapter is operating out of a temporary location while searching for a more permanent home. Ideally, they’re hoping for at least 2,000 to 3,000 square feet of ground-floor space with direct exterior

access — critical for loading the thousands of shoes they process each month. Broughton has issued a public call for leads on free or low-cost space, particularly in the northern suburbs. Despite this transitional moment, the mission hasn’t slowed. Changing Footprints collaborates with more than 100 nonprofits in Indianapolis, including Dress for Success, Wheeler Mission and Purposeful Design. These partnerships help provide shoes to individuals facing homelessness, job loss or reentry from incarceration. Instead of duplicating services, the nonprofit focuses on supplying footwear, allowing partner agencies to concentrate on their own missions — such as housing, job placement or recovery. A standout feature of the North Indy location is its innovative “shoe rack” program. The program currently operates in 19 schools and nonprofits, providing onsite access to approximately 100 pairs of quality tennis shoes, restocking every month. This embedded approach allows caseworkers and educators to quickly meet a need without redirecting attention or resources. Changing Footprints also maintains a strong environmental commitment. Shoes that don’t meet donation standards are recycled through an arrangement with a shoe manufacturer and transformed into playground material. The eco-forward initiative keeps

thousands of unusable shoes out of landfills each year. Although the group has not formally celebrated its 20th anniversary, plans are underway for a milestone event in December 2026, when the organization expects to surpass the 1 million–pair mark. Until then, it’s business as usual — serving quietly, consistently and with purpose. “Honestly, we’re not great at celebrating ourselves,” Broughton said. “We’re too busy doing the work. But when that millionth pair goes out the door, we’ll take a moment.” At Changing Footprints, every pair of donated shoes tells a story of need, dignity and community — and proves just how far a group of dedicated volunteers can go when working together.

HOLISTIC FAMILY CARE
HUSBAND-AND-WIFE TEAM IN FISHERS FOCUS ON NEUROLOGIC HEALING AND PROACTIVE WELLNESS Writer / Renée Larr
This emphasis on root-cause healing means the practice supports far more than just back and neck pain. The Kingdom Chiropractic’s patients seek help for everything from chronic digestive issues, thyroid dysfunction and allergies to ADHD, ear infections and even infertility. “People often think chiropractic care is just for pain,” Dr. Mariah said. “Since our focus is on the health of the nervous system, we can help with various conditions. Restoring function to that system allows the body to heal as it was designed to do.” The couple provides chiropractic care to entire families, from two-day-old infants to seniors in their 90s. Pediatric and prenatal care are the primary focuses of the practice, with many patients seeking help for colic, sleep issues or developmental concerns. Others, like an expectant mother who recently conceived after months of trying, find hope in the whole-body, non-invasive approach.
For Dr. Sam Wetherell and Dr. Mariah Montague, chiropractic care is about more than managing pain — it’s about healing at the source. At The Kingdom Chiropractic, their newly opened Fishers-based practice, the husband-and-wife duo deliver pediatric, family-focused, neurologic-based chiropractic care designed to help patients of all ages reclaim their health, vitality and function. Opened in October 2024, The Kingdom Chiropractic stands out for its proactive, 18 | August 2025 | TownePost.com
holistic approach. “Rather than masking symptoms, we focus on understanding and correcting the root cause of dysfunction,” said Dr. Mariah. “We identify stress throughout the nervous system, remove it, and make sure the system is regulating well. It is the difference between building health versus managing dysfunction.”
Success at The Kingdom Chiropractic isn’t defined solely by symptom relief. “We’re not just here to help people feel better,” Dr. Mariah said. “We want them to function better, and that includes sleeping better, focusing better, moving better and living better.” That functional improvement, she said, often translates to children excelling in sports, individuals no longer experiencing chronic illness or families enjoying life more fully. New patients begin with a comprehensive diagnostic appointment that includes thermography and, when appropriate, digital x-rays. These tools allow the doctors to understand a patient’s condition in detail before any adjustments are made. “We never guess
with care,” Dr. Mariah said. “Before anyone receives an adjustment, we do thorough diagnostics to understand exactly what’s going on.” At The Kingdom Chiropractic, adjustments are the sole focus of care — no massage therapy, no bells and whistles. Instead, Drs. Sam and Mariah offer highly individualized plans and a deep commitment to patient education. “We pride ourselves on being transparent and empowering people with tools and information,” Dr. Mariah said. “It’s not just, ‘come in, get adjusted, and leave.’ We walk with you on your journey to health, ensuring you feel informed and in control of your wellness.” Located along 96th Street in Fishers, The Kingdom Chiropractic is a physical manifestation of the couple’s passion for building health rather than reacting to illness. Drs. Sam and Mariah firmly believe in chiropractic care as a first-line option. They say it’s less invasive and more preventative than many traditional medical interventions. “It’s about being proactive rather than reactive,” Dr. Mariah said. “Why wait for a crisis when you can build health now?” With a mission rooted in pediatric-family care, neurologic healing and personalized service, The Kingdom Chiropractic is helping patients across all life stages thrive from the inside out.

VISION AND COMMUNITY WAHL TO WAHL EYE CARE LAUNCHES FISHERS PRACTICE Writer / Renée Larr
just the place people come for their yearly eye exam. We want to be part of the community that supports us.” The practice name is a nod to their last name and a symbol of their whole-hearted commitment — from “wall to wall” — to every aspect of patient care. The couple, who met over a decade ago in optometry school and married in 2021, envisioned Wahl to Wahl Eye Care as a reflection of their values and dedication to the field.
When Drs. Lauren and Noah Wahl opened Wahl to Wahl Eye Care on April 21, they weren’t just launching a business — they were building a community-minded vision care practice rooted in wellness, family and intentionality. Wahl to Wahl Eye Care reflects the Wahls’ shared mission to deliver top-tier eye care while giving back to the community they now call home. “We wanted to create a space that felt warm and inviting, where patients feel seen — literally and figuratively,” said Dr. Lauren. “Our goal was to be more than 22 | August 2025 | TownePost.com
From the start, the Wahls aimed to establish a practice distinct from others. That begins with their curated eyewear selection, which focuses on independent frame brands with missions to give back — whether planting a tree for every frame purchased or donating eyewear to those in need.
phoropters for precise prescriptions and ultra-widefield retinal imaging that captures a 220-degree view of the retina. This innovation allows the Wahls to detect early signs of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration and other severe conditions — often before symptoms arise. Wahl to Wahl Eye Care offers services for patients of all ages — from toddlers to Dr. Lauren’s 101-year-old grandfather. What sets their practice apart is its whole-body approach to vision health. Services include routine eye exams, pediatric care, contact lens fittings and myopia management for children. As the practice grows, they plan to add sports vision training and dry eye therapy.
Giving back isn’t just part of the Wahl to Wahl mission — it’s at the heart of it. In addition to offering free retinal screenings “Our goal is to be intentional with every for first responders and reaching out to decision,” said Dr. Noah. “From the frames schools for complimentary vision checks, we carry to the advanced technology we use, they plan to dedicate a day each year to we want patients to know they’re receiving providing free exams to individuals without thoughtful, high-quality care.” vision insurance. The practice is committed to serving the community and giving back That technology includes cutting-edge to it. diagnostic tools, such as automated
Dr. Noah, a former football player, is passionate about supporting youth athletes and has reached out to local sports organizations to develop partnerships focused on vision performance. “We want to help kids see clearly so they can play at their best,” he said. The Wahls don’t just work in the Fishers community — they live there, too. Residing just 10 minutes from their office, they are always available for after-hours eye emergencies — something Dr. Noah offered in his previous role. “Being close by means we can help when people need it most,” he said. With deep Indiana roots, a genuine love for community and a commitment to exceptional, mission-focused care, Drs. Lauren and Noah Wahl are redefining what eye care can be. Both University of Indianapolis graduates, they share a vision to deliver high-quality, personalized care to every patient — one thoughtful appointment at a time.

Building a Stronger Future, Together A message from Superintendent Pat Mapes There’s something special about the start of a new school year. For those of us in education, it’s more than a calendar reset. It’s a renewed call to action. As we welcome more than 20,000 students into our schools this month, we’re reminded of the vital role public education plays – not just inside classrooms but throughout our entire community.
lies in collaboration. Initiatives like Journey of a Student, shaped by hundreds of community voices, show what’s possible when we come together around a shared vision. Right now, HSE students are achieving at some of the highest levels in Indiana. They’re excelling in reading, math, Advanced Placement courses, and graduating at a rate well above the state average. But our mission goes far beyond academics. Through hands-on learning, service projects, internships, and extracurriculars, we’re helping students grow into confident, capable citizens. As this new year begins, let’s remember: strong schools and strong communities are built together. Your belief in public education and your continued support make all the difference. #ExcellenceStartsHere

P U M R A W N O I T U L O REV PREGAME FOUNDER ROY WARD IS MAKING WARMING UP COOL Writer / Renée Larr
For decades, athletic preparation has taken a back seat in the sports world, overshadowed by performance and recovery. But what if the warm-up wasn’t just the thing you rushed through or skipped altogether, but instead the core of your routine? Roy Ward, former medical device executive, youth sports coach and founder of PREGAME, is determined to flip the script. PREGAME isn’t just a product — it’s a movement, and a lifestyle brand with a big mission: to make warming up proactive, intuitive and, above all, cool. Ward saw the disconnect firsthand, both as a medical device sales leader and a youth coach. “Everything in med tech was reactive — from treatment, recovery and rehab. There was no culture of hope or preparation,” he says. On the sidelines, he noticed similar patterns. “Kids show up to games glued to their phones,” Ward adds. “Even with good coaching, getting them to warm up with intention is tough. Warm-up isn’t en vogue.”
28 | August 2025 | TownePost.com
Instead of reactive care, Ward saw a growing obsession with recovery tools. “It’s almost a badge of honor to need the recovery gun,” Ward says. “But no one’s asking, ‘What can I do to prevent this?’” That cultural blind spot planted the seed for PREGAME, a brand rooted in proactive preparation rather than damage control. Ward leaped from a lengthy career in medical sales to launching a sports tech startup. The pivot may seem drastic, but for Ward, it was inevitable. “I got to a point where I realized everything I loved — athletics, fashion, efficiency, proactivity — wasn’t being served by what I was doing,” he says. “I wanted to create something with legacy-level impact.” PREGAME is that something. Set to launch its flagship product in 2026, PREGAME will introduce a groundbreaking wearable technology designed to seamlessly integrate into users’ existing routines, making warming up a part of their everyday lives. “We’ve spent over a year in voice-of-customer research,” Ward says. “We knew the product
had to integrate into existing routines — not ask people to carve out extra time.” Whether in the car, at a hotel or on the sidelines, PREGAME aims to be with users wherever they are. PREGAME believes that changing culture is essential to changing habits. Ward draws inspiration from lifestyle giants like Apple, Beats by Dre and Lululemon. “We’re not just selling a warm-up device,” he says. “We’re building a culture of proactivity, hope and preparation.” Central to that culture is music. PREGAME will feature curated playlists led by global artists to help users ritualize their warm-up. These playlists express warmth, style and personalization in your warm-up routine. “It should be something people look forward to — not dread,” Ward says. Another key pillar of PREGAME is its strong focus on community. The PREGAME app will allow users to share their warm-up rituals and track progress, building a sense of accountability and shared experience.
“We’re giving people a space to be seen, to feel solution to a common problem. significant — especially young athletes who are often looking for belonging,” Ward says. The brand is also addressing the cool factor. “Warm-up has never been sexy,” Ward says. While the PREGAME platform can benefit “We’re changing that with design, music and everyone — from casual movers to elite culture.” competitors — Ward knows a brand must start somewhere. Their initial focus will be PREGAME’s aesthetic will be sleek and on pro athletes, fitness enthusiasts and what fashion-forward — something athletes will he affectionately calls “movers” — everyday actually want to wear. people who stay active in their own way. PREGAME is deeply rooted in Fishers, with PREGAME is a brand for everyone, inviting local partnerships already forming, including each individual to be part of the warm-up the Fishers Event Center, the Indy Fuel and the revolution and fostering a sense of belonging. Indy Freight. As the company ramps up to its “These kids want to feel part of something bigger,” Ward says. “Once they see athletes and influencers wearing PREGAME, they’ll want to be part of it too. That’s how you create momentum.” PREGAME has already attracted notable names in the athletic world. While Ward remains tight-lipped about specifics, he credits the long-term relationships he built during his career in medical technology. “When you treat people well, work hard and build something meaningful, doors open,” he says. Among his close advisors are Kevin Cullie, an early hire at Under Armour, Brandon McDaniel, Vice President, Player Performance for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Golden State Warriors trainer, Armando Rivas, who serves as PREGAME’s basketball ambassador. So why do people skip warm-ups in the first place? Time, Ward says.
official product launch in 2026, Ward focuses on refining the brand, growing the community and igniting excitement around something that has long been overlooked. “This isn’t just a warm-up product — it’s a movement,” Ward says. “It’s about creating rituals that lead to better lives. If we do this right, we won’t just change how people prepare — we’ll change how they live.” And that’s precisely the kind of PREGAME the world could use. For more information, visit getpregame.com.
