Fred Wieners
Faculty
A college professor from Maine, who becomes a famous Union regimental commander fighting on some high ground at Gettysburg, predicted that “men and women from afar . . . heart-drawn to see where and by whom great things were suffered and done for them shall come to this deathless field to ponder and dream.” Together we will “ponder and dream” and learn many timeless leadership lessons.
Fred is an accomplished military leader, instructor and educator with a passion to ‘make a difference.’ He is a seasoned facilitator with 25 years of active experiential learning practice in bringing Gettysburg stories to life in a meaningful, memorable and motivating way.
