<\/a>Guest Bio<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Steve<\/strong>\u00a0loves to make things! \u00a0The things he makes are sometimes useful and sometimes playful. \u00a0He can\u2019t imagine a life without being able to make things. \u00a0A couple of years ago, he\u00a0started to use a cool new technology called \u201c3D printing\u201d. \u00a0He became so excited about this platform for making things that he just had to help other people learn how to use it too!\u00a0 So he did what any self-respecting American would do, he decided to ask his\u00a0wife Debby to help him\u00a0start a business so they could support their\u00a0habit of helping others move from consuming to creating.<\/p>\n

Steve has\u00a0actually been using 3D design software, physical computing, and computer programming for about 15 years. \u00a0He never used 3D design alone to make a living, but whenever he had a project that needed a 3D model, he would go to the 3D CAD (Computer Aided Drawing) software and build something. For example, when a goat barn was needed, Steve pulled out Google Sketch-up, designed it up, and put everyone to work on the construction process. Now the goats are nice and cozy at night!<\/p>\n

As a maker and a research scientist \u2014 he can\u2019t help his PhD past \u2014 he has the quintessential \u201cabsent minded professor\u201d thing going on, and fortunately for him, Debby<\/strong> brings a strong organization and social intuition to their\u00a0business.\u00a0 Just as he has\u00a0been a maker all my life, his\u00a0wife has been an educator all her life.\u00a0 In fact (don\u2019t tell her he actually said\u00a0this), she used to line up her stuffed animals on the bed and have \u201cclass\u201d!\u00a0 She\u2019s added a few more credentials to those skills over the years, including a Master\u2019s in Educational Technology Leadership. \u00a0Here are the \u201cofficial\u201d LinkedIn pages with their\u00a0academic backgrounds, in case you were wondering: [Debby<\/a>] [Steve<\/a>]\n

Steve and Debby\u00a0keep themselves busy by chasing around their\u00a05 kids (well, actually it\u2019s 8 but the oldest three\u00a0don\u2019t require much chasing anymore). \u00a0They enjoy making things together with their\u00a0kids, and working on projects. \u00a0They have a couple of budding artists, a couple of young engineers, and a couple who take care of our little ranch which includes 4 dogs, 5 cats, 4 goats, and about 15 chickens. \u00a0They like lots of techy stuff as well as camping, hiking, road trips, and hanging out with their\u00a0friends. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Steve was recently interviewed by Scott Barlow of the Happen to Your Career<\/a> podcast in one of their most popular episodes. It was a great conversation. Listen in below:<\/p>\n
