Stephen's Story

Hey, everybody! Here's the quick version of my story. I graduated from San Diego State with a B.S. in Accounting in 1972. I moved to Fort Worth, Texas where I went to work for Price Waterhouse & Co., and earned my CPA certificate in 1974. After four years at PW I served in a number of senior financial management positions in corporate America. In 1985 I made the transition to computer systems project management, design, and implementation consulting. I spent two years each doing projects in Kazakhstan, Angola, and Nigeria, plus a year in Australia and Papua New Guinea, and some time in Venezuela, England, Ireland, and Canada. Presently, I am a JD Edwards Financials Manager at Accenture. I hope to retire sometime in the next five years. I married Sherry Breen, class of 1970, in 1971 and we had four children who have given us six grandchildren so far. We divorced in 1994. After many years of bachelorhood I married again in 2006, which lasted for six years. Finally, I married again in September 2016. I hope to get this one right. I write short stories for fun and not for profit. Of the 50 or so stories I have written, I have had a number ...Expand for more
of them published and have won a couple short story writing contests. My other passion is restoring classic and antique wooden boats. My fleet currently includes two Chris-Crafts - a 1948 Deluxe Runabout and a 1959 Ski Utility, a 1948 Speed Liner Racing Runabout, a 1958 Lyman, a 1950 Thompson TVT Deluxe, and a 1955 Bryant Capri. I also have a couple of classic fiberglass boats, including a 1986 Ski Supreme old school Tournament Ski boat and a 1960 Glasspar G3 Ski boat. I attend classic and antique boat shows all around the country and show my own boats at some of them. I serve as the President of the Wooden Boat Association of North Texas and am the Managing Editor of The Brass Bell, which is the magazine of the Chris-Craft Antique Boat Club. I live in North Richland Hills, Texas with my new wife and her three boxers, two of which are show dogs, one of which has earned his champion pedigree. I travel four days a week for work, currently to Chicago. My health is good, just old and fat. All is well. I hope the same is true for you... not the fat part, just the well part. I look forward to seeing you at our 50th class reunion in 2018. Steve
