Welcome: Wayne Waite
Wayne Waite was born in
Canton,.New York. And at the age of 4 his father became a minister
and they moved to Bangor Maine. He attended East Pembroke New York
High School. He technically didn't graduate high school because he
was a foreign exchange student in Stockholm Sweden. There he met his
wife, Christina. Since he is married to Christina he can speak
Swedish, so he knows when he is in trouble. He earned his undergrad
degree at State University New York and his JD at the University of
Dayton Law. And that's how they got to Dayton. Christina was a
nurse and eventually earned her doctorate in psychiatry, and works
at Miami Valley Hospital. Wayne talked Miami Valley into hiring him
and he was their corporate council for a time. He now works as
magistrate with the Greene County Common Pleas Court. Wayne is an
instrument rated pilot, actively flying 50 hours a year. He is a
member of the Xenia Nazarene Church and the Greene County Bar
Assoc. He founded a health care group in Honduras called Shoulder
to Shoulder and travels there 3 to 4 times per year. Wayne is a
candidate for Greene County Probate Judge. He will be celebrating
50 years with Christina next July and they have an adult son and 3
grandchildren. Wayne’s rotary sponsor is Joe Jenkins.

Welcome:
Jonas Helbert

Jonas was born and raised right here in Beavercreek. Graduated
Beavercreek in 2005. And went on to earn his bachelors in
business administration from Tiffin University. He started in
banking and mortgage lending, but he always wanted to own his
own business. After much research he discovered it would
require a large amount of financial investment to start a
business. So he found something that just required a lot of
hustle and salesmanship. He became a realtor with the goal of
owning his own brokerage. He started in 2016 and in 2018 he
started Street Light Realty, located in Washington Township. He
has 16 agents and he owns several rental properties. He has two
hobbies, the first is hunting. He likes squirrel, turkey and
deer hunting. Ask him about getting enough squirrels to make
squirrel street tacos. He has a place in Kentucky that he likes
to hunt. He also likes American history so one of his favorite
places he has been is Boston. His other hobby is playing
guitar, but he says he isn’t very good. He enjoys playing
everything from metal to bluegrass, as long as it’s a good
guitar part. Jonas is a member of the Beavercreek Chamber.
He is married to Miranda for 15 years now and they have twin 14
year olds, Theodore and Regan. His Rotary sponsor is Beth
Handwerker and Beth will affix his Pin.
