Brandon and Samantha Ream were married in October 2010 in Chicago.

And now, more than 40 years after the land that once was a farm began turning out a different sort of crop, Camp Woodward has produced scores of stars. “Anybody you’ve seen on TV has come to Woodward,” Hass beams. “We discovered these kids when everyone else was ignoring them,” Gary Ream says. “Most school principals didn’t like what we were doing, but we did it anyway because we knew these kids were important. They needed a place to go, and we became it. Just think of it as me as a dad who really cared for my kids. But I had hundreds, if not thousands of kids. And a whole bunch of them turned out to be rock stars.” Of all the rock stars the camp turned out, one of the brightest was Brandon Ream. Although he wasn’t an action-sports star (instead, he was a walk-on punter to the Penn State football team in college), he was the one who would someday take over the family business, and he was eager to do it. In fact, after his final football game at Penn State, the 2007 Outback Bowl, Brandon walked off the field with his arm on his father’s shoulder, “Tasteful Touches for Every Room”
