I do know ASCCA has kept me current as a business owner and certainly more aware of general business issues, current issues, and industry concerns. I made a lot of friends up and down the state, and the knowledge I've gained since becoming a member is priceless. I look forward to several more years as I wind up my 50-year career and 36 years in business.”

When asked about his favorite memory of being an ASCCA member, Steve said, “Looking back I have had a lot of fun from ‘Running to the Capitol’ to knowing ‘Monopoly Man.’ I’ve gotten to know many members and the laughter and the serious side of ASCCA will be with me forever.
