Steve's Story
Life
It took a little while for me to get my direction in life but I went back to school and got my Bachelors and Masters degrees and have had exceptional work experiences that have allowed me to become proficient in my profession with top level Fortune companies. I enjoy my job very much and work with true professionals with enormous talent. My kids are great and my wife is a real blessing to my life. Overall, I'd have to say that I've done and accomplished more than I thought I would have when I was in high school, thanks to the drive I've acquired over the past several years.
School
High School: Not particulary driven in studies, worked a part time job in grades 10-12. Had no desire to attend college after high school. Math was and still is my strong subject. History/Social Studies was my worst subject.
College

ously and brought home good grades to prove it. I took almost seven (7) years 1990-1994 and 1996-1998 to get my degrees and gave up many family and extracurricular activities to achieve it. In retrospect, I am glad I waited to go back to school because my immaturity at the end of high school would not have served me in gaining an education. If I had to make the decision of going back to college at age 30 and working a full time job while raising two little kids I would do it all over again in a second. An education is something no one can ever take away from you.
Workplace
From High School to my mid-20's I had very unimpressive jobs. I broke into the Aerospace industry in 1984 as a parts pusher and have ascended gradually through various disciplines to my current position as a Senior Manager for a very well known aerospace company. I've worked for several Fortune 75 companies and find my career fufilling and challenging.
