STORM - Strong Team of Rescue Men

Many years ago, Houston had a waterpark named WaterWorld.  They employed the best lifeguards in the state of Texas.  That may seem like a pretty big boast, but the WaterWorld STORM could back it up.  Over a 10 year period, they won 15 lifeguarding championships, with 10 straight State Championships included it those years.

It has been many years since they demolished WaterWorld and the guards have gone on to accomplish many great things, Spider Michaels being one of them.  After his successful Marketing career in NASCAR, IndyCar and the NHRA, he started a clothing company, became a photographer, a videographer, a TV Host, a poet, a SCUBA jewelry designer, an inventor, a traveler, a blogger, a screenwriter and an author several times over.

Spider Michaels considers himself to be the first New Age, Renaissance Pirate and the natural leader of the STORM Troopers.

One of his creations is The STORM Foundation.  A non-profit organization to render aid in many different situations, it utilizes exLifeguards from WaterWorld as its' foundation members.
