Steven's Story
Life
Right now, I'm on "sabbatical" from professional life and am at home raising two kids (a kindergartener and 7th grader). My wife works in commercial real estate, and we have our home in Richardson, TX (a suburb of Dallas). Over the last year we remodeled our kitchen, built and outdoor kitchen, and replaced our landscaping. Just this week, we finished a barbecue fundraiser for our church youth group (of which my daughter is a member). We smoked about 330 lbs of brisket, 220 lbs of pork, 75 lbs of chicken, and 40 lbs of sausage. Proceeds will go towards the youth mission trip to Dulac, LA.

From there I went to a small, but established consulting firm where I worked with several mentors from the old C&L days. The environment was refreshing and the work was challenging... until the day I realized that my heart was no longer in consulting.
Which is when I made the jump to the non-profit world. For 4 years, I worked as the Director of IT for a local non-profit organized to help students & teachers in Texas improve academics. This goal was accomplished through public-private partnerships designed around Advanced Placement Incentive Programs. Although I separated from APS in 2005, I still believe strongly in their mission and wish them the best.
That was my last professional job, but I am keeping my ear to the ground looking for the next opportunity where I can utilize both my head and my heart...
