A Little History. About fifteen years ago Steve was attending a golf tournament as a participant when the Auctioneer of the post tournament dinner failed to show! Being the shy kind of guy, he stepped up and did the auction himself. Someone in the audience asked him to be the Auctioneer at their golf tournament and the next thing he knew he was doing 20 events a year! When the Cedar Fire burned the family business to the ground, he decided to make it a full time career - 85 events in 2007! Rotary. Steve is a current member of the Rotary Club of El Cajon and Past President of the Rotary Club of Santee-Lakeside.

 AYSO. Youth Soccer. During Steve’s three year’s as Commissioner of the Lakeside AYSO, he started a program called Kid’s Zone to try and combat the increasing verbal violence occurring on the sidelines. The program was such a success that it was picked up by the National Offices of AYSO and is now in place in over 50% of AYSO programs internationally.
