Steve grew up in La Canada and came to San Diego to attend college and play baseball. He started Silk Screen Shirts with a fraternity brother producing t-shirts and such for the local fraternities and sororities. One thing led to another and before too long they were doing all the uniforms for the local restaurants. By the mid 70's Silk Screen shirts was manufacturing all it's own golf shirts as it could not buy enough garments through Jantzen or Career Club (at the time the two largest manufacturers in the country). Steve married in 1978 and has 4 great kids. Two of his boys are now involved, full time, in the company. Steve has a BS in Business Administration from SDSU and resides in Escondido. Steve's a guy's kind of guy. Loves all sports and even plays baseball now and then! Rumor has it that the LA Dodgers wanted him way back when. He decided SSS would be way more fun!
