• About Papa Steve

    In these pages I hope to reveal one American’s journey. I’m a professional in my late forties who grew up in conservative America. I’m husband to a beautiful wife, father to three great, adult children, and Papa to four, highly energetic grandsons. I no longer live in the world I grew up in. As I embrace many great aspects of the world of my children and grand children I hope to capture those moments here in these pages with glimpses of the world of my own childhood.
