Steve is a newly minted retiree, leaving the workforce in January 2019 after a 40 year career in Information Technology. Having been an avid solver of crosswords since childhood, he decided to take up puzzle construction as the next chapter in his life's journey. He's been a lover of spy movies since his Aunt and Uncle took him to see "Thunderball" in the movie theater at the tender age of 7. His parents were less than happy, but it started a love of action films that has endured to this day.
