Born in a small town in Texas, he migrated north with his family. A victim of Divorce at 3, he continued to live with his mother. At age 4, his mother met a man. One who would become his father. Years passed as he worked the farm his father owned and attended grade school. During those latter years, this young boy became infatuated with this..... thing. This... Force. Star Wars. He learned everything and anything the Internet could provide on Jedi. He read all the books that had been released. Purchased comics. Sold them on eBay, regrettably (made quite a profit, though :-\). Attended High School. A regular student, B average grades, though he never really applied himself to his work or his studying. Always off; looking away.... Until graduation. When he realized he should have done more. Taken a far more active role in selecting further education. Though it never happened. He worked various jobs. Concrete laborer. Assistant Cook, eventually making his way up to Kitchen Manager. Then, perhaps, a shiver through the Force. After his employment ended due to extenuating circumstances, be began his own Business Adventure. He became: Josh Steffen, The Handy Guy. Employer Identification Number, Tax Permits, a loan, the whole shebang. He bought his tools, his computer and all his technical gadgets. He bought his Cards, his flyers, paper, home office supplies. He flushed his money down the toilet. Believing it was destined for failure, he never should have begun his venture. Which brings him to the here. To the now. Broke, working a part-time dishwashing job, dreaming of work at home, looking forward (...again) to the future to perhaps snatch a glimpse of anything to come. May be able to continue the job that ended. New owners bought the resort. The old gave glowing references. There may be a future yet.... But one must focus on the present. Otherwise... Nothing will get accomplished.
