Richard Tod Spieker To Receive ISHOFs 2016 Gold Medallion Award

FORT LAUDERDALE – The International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF) is proud to announce that Richard “Tod” Spieker, a Silicon Valley real estate investor and entrepreneur, will receive ISHOF’s Gold Medallion Award at ceremonies to be held in Santa Clara, Calif., on Saturday evening, October 29th, 2016.  

ISHOF’s Gold Medallion is the organization’s highest honor. It has been conferred annually since 1983 upon an individual who has been a competitive swimmer, diver, water polo player or synchronized swimmer – who has achieved international recognition for accomplishments in the fields of science, government, entertainment, business or education and whose life serves as a positive role model for youth. Past recipients of the Award include: US President Ronald Reagan, US Senator Barry Goldwater, US Ambassador to the United Nations Andrew Young, H.S.H. Prince Albert of Monaco, Businessman and Secretary of the Treasury William E. Simon, Olympic and Baseball boss, Peter Ueberroth and entertainer, Esther Williams, to name a few.  

“The purpose of the Gold Medallion Award is to provide positive role models for today’s youth,” said Bruce Wigo, ISHOF President/CEO.  “While Tod may not be as well known to the public as some of our prior Award recipients, we are honored to be able to share the story of this humble and reserved man’s path to success in life and in business, which he attributes to the lessons he learned in his formative years as a swimmer.”  

Tod Spieker began swimming competitively at the age of eight, but it was not until he was twelve that he won his first race.  Trained and mentored by legendary coaches Al and Della Sehorn, Bob Gaughran, Nort Thornton and Bob Horn, he became an All-American Swimmer at Menlo Atherton High School and later at UCLA.
