Loading ...It’s conference season and I find myself on the road way too much. People often comment on how glamorous it must be to get to travel so much. Orlando this week, San Francisco next week and a quick trip to Duluth in between. Wow, what an exciting life! I hear it all of the time, but I’m never brave enough to blurt out, “Traveling sucks! I just want to be home with my wife and kids.” Okay, I said it. You know you travel too much when you have memorized the seating configuration of every airplane Boeing makes… and you’ve memorized your 16-digit frequent flyer number. Looser with a capital “L”.
When I’m not on the road being the science guy, you’ll find me in the backyard with my wife and our boys diggin’ in the dirt, planting a new tree, or just giving the boys a wheelbarrow ride. Oh, yes… I had a million business things I could have been doing today… posting blogs, creating new products, writing new curriculum. But none of that really matters when you come around the corner of the house only to find your oldest boy teaching the 2 year old twins how to water the flowers… if you know what I mean. Yes, it’s a proud Daddy moment. Too bad it was in the neighbor’s yard.

A true “down-to-earth” guy! Steve’s an excellent motivational speaker that excite’s his audience, and get’s them into the “science spirit”!
With students, well, I think the results shown, speak for themselves! Bringing fun to science, and perhap’s “sparking” a career choice is what it’s all about!
