BIOGRAPHY
courtesy of CBS.com |
 The youngest of six children born into a logging sports
family, Tina Scheer learned how to log roll in Northern
Wisconsin when she was seven years old. She feels all of
her childhood memories are good ones and credits her
mother for raising six children by herself.
Scheer is the owner of the World Champion Lumberjills, "Chics
with Axes," a traveling group of female lumberjacks. She
is also owner of The Great Maine Lumberjack Show, which
is based in Trenton, Maine. She competes regularly as a
lumberjill and is also a logging sports promoter. In
addition to touring the country, she has traveled to
Australia ten times with her exhibitions. She also
traveled to South Africa, Germany and New Zealand. She
has been featured in CBS's Challenge of the Sexes, MTV's
Real World, National Geographic, Sports Illustrated and
Women's Sport & Fitness.
After Scheer was accepted to participate in SURVIVOR:
GUATEMALA, her only child, Charlie, 16, was killed in an
auto accident one week before she was expected to leave.
In spite of this tragedy, Scheer was determined to
complete the SURVIVOR adventure that they had started
together. She describes herself as outgoing, funny and
adventurous. Scheer feels her greatest achievement,
apart from the privilege of being Charlie's mom, is
promoting women in a man's sport.
Having grown up in the woods, Scheer is most comfortable
in the outdoors. She is an avid hiker and biker, kayaks
regularly and does X-C skiing.
Scheer currently splits her time between Hayward,
Wisconsin, and Trenton, Maine. Her birth date is
November 17, 1960.
