Philly, the city of "Brotherly Love." This
is where Steve was born, raised and went
to school. He is a graduate from Temple University
with a major in in science and took the knowledge
learned and applied it as a science teacher
at the Community College of Philadelphia.
But it was not exactly in his genes. Reason:
his father was an automobile dealer and his
mother was a marketing director for Hosiery
Corp. This explains his jump into the jewelry
sales business. For fourteen years he traveled
around the country showing and selling high
end antique and estate jewelry.
Traveling can wear you down and Steve decided
to apply his knowledge and contacts with
famous people as the Development Director
of an HIV/AIDS agency in Philadelphia. He
held this position for five years before
getting the "jewelry bug" again and taking
a job with Maitland Jewelers two years ago.
Steve was sponsored to our club by Neill.
He says that he joined because "I wanted
to find a place to do some volunteer work
and meet some people with similar interests." Since
joining, he has been involved with Take A
Kid Fishin' and now is co-director of Club
Services with Denise.
Of special note...Steve's daughter Jackie
is getting marry October 1st. Let's give
him a great "congratulations dad" when you
see him at the next meeting.
