Clay Weldon – Board Member
Clay has been with B21 from the very beginning.
My early years growing up back East outside Philly were spent living an adventurous life riding freestyle BMX, go-carts, unicycles, dirt bikes, playing all the sports, and… delivering lots of wedding cakes. My parents owned a bakery that’s still around today and I’m one of six kids who all worked in the bakery.
I have a beautiful wife, Cristy, and some amazing kiddos with one being a special needs son, Luke, who lights up everyone’s life.
I founded a fitness software business back in 2011, absolutely love what I do, and am surrounded by incredibly supportive people. Be content, but never settle.

Scott Shulman – B21 Circle Leader
My wife Rhonda and I came to Park City for the first time in December of 2004 to teach our two boys, then 7 and 8 years old, how to ski. After spending just one week here we knew this is where we wanted to eventually, permanently move.
We purchased property in 2005 and just waited for the right time to move.
I practiced internal medicine for almost 30 years in Atlanta before we realized our dream and moved to Park City in January of 2021.
Our younger son, Drew, who is now 25 years old and is on the spectrum, moved to Park City with us. Rhonda and I never thought Drew would ever achieve any significant level of independence but he is now living here by himself and has had a full-time job at the Canyons with benefits and a 401K for the past two and a half years. The self-worth and happiness that his independence has brought to him and the joy and satisfaction of seeing Drew living this life have been life-changing for Rhonda and me. When I learned about Bridge 21 in April of 2022 I wanted to play some role as I want other parents and caregivers to be able to experience what my wife and I have through Drew’s independence. I strongly believe that every person should be given the opportunity to live his/her life as fully as possible no matter what their starting point.
I still work full-time for my practice in Atlanta of 67 providers both in clinical and administrative roles. Rhonda is a Rehab Medicine physician practicing at Park City Hospital and serves on the board of the NAC. I love anything exercise: biking, hiking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and also volunteer at the NAC. I enjoy building things and creating art on the side.
If I can change someone else’s life for the better then I have accomplished my goal in life.
