Warren Tischler - Founder of Resilite
Warren Tischler -- Founder of Resilite
March 4, 1921 - September 20, 2004
   

The man who introduced the modern mat to the sport of wrestling, Warren Tischler, founder of Resilite Sports Products.

Warren was deeply involved with the sport of wrestling as early as 1934. Warren began wrestling at the age of 13 at Wyoming Seminary where he won the National Prep School Championship in 1939. He wrestled four years at the University of Pennsylvania and earned a degree in economics from the Wharton School of Business. He won the NEP Open Championship, now known as the Wilkes Open. After four years in the U.S. Army, he returned to wrestling in 1946, and won the Middle Atlantic AAU title for Scranton YMCA. For 10 years, he was successful owner of a restaurant in New York.

Warren was driven and dedicated to wrestling and had contributed wrestling mats for NCAA Championships since 1959, and other state tournaments and wrestling camps. Although Warren is the founder of Resilite, he had always showed determination and hard work right beside his other employees.

Devoted husband and father, Warren was married over 50 years and had four children. His impeccable reputation in the business world has honored him with many merits and awards for his impact on the sport of wrestling. He will be remembered as a compassionate, hard working, and generous person. He was deeply loved and respected by his family and friends.
