Dear Models, Friends and Clients
I regret to inform you that Stacey will not be able to come to China for the Elite Model Look competition. Just last night (Monday night) he was injured while doing what if you all know him and one of his lifes true loves and passions. While with his children and wife spending family time and the Thanksgiving Holiday at there home from home on the Big Island of Hawiia, Kona to be excate.
After a family hike to Akaka falls the road is a long boarders paradise a long and steep run with some impressive hills and turns, having done it may times before after a very sharp corner coming out of it was met by as you may or may not know with a sudden rain cloud It being the wet side or tropical Hilo side freak bursts of a rain from no where can be common. Anyway with reaching speeds of approximately 38 to 45 miles an hour he hit the rain burst wheels started to drift and speed wobbles over came him and his board. And took him to the pavement head first.
As we have learned by the amazing Hawiian State police and the trauma specialists at Hilo a emergency we are Trully lucky he is still with us let alone speaking, communicating and trying his best to manages his clients and provide for his four small children and wife. With his stale worth Melinda and staff the work WILL MOVE FORWARD.
Shattering the bones in his hand and wrist and was rushed into emergency surgery. He almost had his hand amputated, but luckily the main nerve was not severed.
However, He is still in the hospital and we do not know when he will be released. He is unable to fly or have a cast on due to the swelling and cannot do ANYTHING that could bump his hand for 4 weeks or he will LOOSE HIS ENTIER ARM! As he sighs there goes Snowboard Season! Not crazy but very passionate in all that he does.
He deeply apologizes and would move heaven and earth to be with Jenna from Iowa and Deb her mom in Singapore, China and Elite Nyc offices after that and to all those new exceptional discoveries from North and South Carolina's We are looking so forward to opening that market and meeting more of you! Most importantly Elite and all from Elite Paris!! if he could. Believe me he would if had to Longboard, Snow , Surf whatever it took to be there.
Many have asked or wondered what if anything could do? Or what happened he and his Family are deeply touched and aware about your Love, Thoughts, Prayers. Much Mahlo From Kona from the Eastman Family email stacey@pulsemgmt.com or Contact Hilo Hawaii hospital.
