Steven's Story
Life
I am living in Fort Walton Beach, FL. I have a 11yr old daughter named Allyra Croix.
I have been working in the steel industry since getting out of the Navy late 1997. I was in Butler, Indiana at Iron Dynamics, Inc. I then switched companies to Nucor Steel in Cofield, NC. I spent 2 years there and built/started the Plate facility there. I transferred to Nucor Decatur, AL, midway through 2002. I was part of the team that rebuilt the TRICO Steel facility when Nucor purchased it. I have moved up to a supervisor position now. I am working towards my Mechanical Engineering degree and pursuing a Maintenance Supervisor position. I currently also am the Chapter Vice-Chairman for the Association of Iron and Steel Technology.
I have a house in Ft. Walton Beach, FL, which is where my ex wife is from. It is good to be back on the coast and in such a beautiful area. Our daughter is doing Girl Scouts and Soccer right now. She wants me to teach her Martial Arts. Hope to hear from you all.
School
Visited Mt. Vernon when my father passed away in Mar '04. The school facility has changed a lot. It was good to see.
I often think about my friends from HS, and wonder where they are. I just need to learn to slow down a bit, and try and find them.
Workplace
I guess I have gone from one extreme to the other in my life. It took a few years to figure out what...Expand for more
I wanted to do after football. I was depressed and really didn't give a crap what happened. I owned a Pizza Shop for a while in Elizabethtown, KY. I then went into the US Navy. I spent 5 1/2 years there as a Machinist Mate. After the Navy, I went on to the Steel Industry, which is what I truly loved. It was a great thing to actually enjoy your job and look forward to going to work. I now own my own company in Fort Walton Beach, FL. We mostly design and build exterior construction - sea walls, decks, docks, boardwalks, FL rooms, etc and so forth. I am working on obtaining my General Contractors license, at which point I will start on Residential Smart Homes and higher end housing.
For a good number of years, I have "moon lighted" as a personal security person. I usually work for SFX/Cellar Door and run event/venue security teams. I also do personal work for entertainers, dignitaries, etc. I have worked some of the biggest names in the business. It is a lot of fun. I haven't been doing as much of it lately, as my back is pretty bad off right now. I should be having surgery to correct the damage I did while playing football and martial arts.
