And Life…

Steve has too many interests to master any of them. You might spot him canoeing, teaching wine tasting, setting up a tent in the snow, learning a new language, listening intently to acoustic music or making a laughing mess while cooking with his young daughter. He lives with his wife and daughter in the beautiful seacoast region of New Hampshire.
