Steve's Story
I have been blessed in ways I could never imagine. After High School, I worked in retailing for nearly 12 years. I met my wife while working for Radio Shack in LaPorte, IN. We married in 6/1978 and moved to South Bend. In October, 1981 I joined the Army. I was stationed at Ft Campbell and in Stuttgart, Germany. I have been fortunate to travel through out the US, Canada and Europe. The Army changed my life in so many positive ways. I worked with Nuclear, Chemical and Biological weapons. I experienced seizures and partial paralysis after being accidentally exposed to by a chemical weapon. I was retired with a medical disability in 8/1985. As part of my recovery, I began college. I graduated with my Bachelor Degree in Social Work in 1989 from University of Maryland and my Masters Degree from University of Louisville in 1990...Expand for more
. We lived near Lafayette, IN when I graduated until we relocated to Indianapolis area in 1994. My wife is an accomplished middle school English teacher, specializing in Gifted and Talented education. We had first child, our son in 1990, Our daughter was born in 1995. I worked as a therapist until recently. I loved being a social worker and specialized in working with adolescents and their families. Unfortunately, after years of being stable on medications, my seizures affected my ability to function and I have not been able to work since 3/2008. It has been a difficult transition and a struggle to accept the end of my career. I keep manage to keep busy being a husband and father, both jobs I also enjoy. We are still able to travel and do the many things we enjoyed. I am seeking to reconnect with people from my past.
