Steve's Story
After HHS, my family moved to Cincinnati and from there I headed to college at U of Colorado. A short stint there since I chose to major in journalism, skiing and recreational narcotics - just not necessarily in that order. I dropped out after two + years but stayed in Boulder working odd jobs and moved back to Cincy in late '79.. I worked in the restaurant biz for number years, got married in '85 ( inheriting our daughter Jackie), and went back to school at Ferris State U in Michigan for a degree in Professional Golf Management. I did my internships in the Philadelphia area and became a PGA member in 1989. I worked as a First Assistant at two private clubs until '96 when I entered the retail realm and began working for Dicks Sporting Goods managing Golf Shops in the Philly district. That lasted 18 years until the company eliminated the PGA Professional position at all ...Expand for more
its locations nationwide two years ago which soured me on the golf business as a whole. So at age 57, I kind of re-invented myself and have been working as a crew supervisor for a landscaping company. It can be physically demanding but mentally rewarding - I'm outdoors and breathing fresh air in some beautiful countryside - and I don't miss retail in the least.
My wife Grace and I live in Wayne - a cool little slice of suburbia on the Main Line outside of Philly. Our daughter, her husband and our two grandkids Carter (13) and Elise (11) live nearby and life is good! I've driven through Hudson a few times over the years on the way to visit family and friends in Michigan and I can't believe how the town has changed since the early '70s.
Hello to those to might remember me and to quote Jerry Garcia: " Give me five, I'm still alive. Ain't no luck - I 've learned to duck".
