In Pursuit Of Wisdom (Book 1) (76 page)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Technically speaking, Steve began his writing career more than two decades ago as a teenager with the outline, map, and first hundred pages or so of what would become
In Pursuit of Wisdom
. It was always a project he promised himself he’d “get to” when he retired. Well, who among us is guaranteed tomorrow, right? So after some ungentle prompting from his wife of 16 years (and counting) and his best friend (looking at you, Mark), he dusted off the old Trapper Keeper notebook from the 1980’s that housed his manuscript to see what kind of shape it was in.

(As an aside….if you ever have the opportunity to peek back through time at what was important or creative to your fifteen-year-old-self, Steve highly recommends it. It’s, eh, illuminating).

After reading the hundred loose-leaf, yellowed, hand-written pages in the most God-awful cursive you can imagine…Steve scrapped it. He chuckled first of course, but scrapped it nonetheless. Fifteen-year-old Steve apparently wanted to take the story in a bit of a different direction than modern-day Steve. So that’s a long way of saying his writing “career” began in earnest in 2012.

Between scribbling the plot foundation in the 80’s and now, Steve enjoys his day job as a Management Consultant, Practice Leader, Father to two amazing children, and Husband to the love of his life that he met in an acting class.
