Life gets in the way of many people trying to catch their dreams. Things were no different for Steve and Eileen. They are both frequently asked now to speak concerning picking the dream back up and chasing it later in life. Both past fifty, they are pursuing with fervor the second half of their lives, or as Steve likes to say… “We are living our dreams… After living our lives”
Meeting through an online creative writers site in 2003, they were married in their back yard in 2005 and now live in Pultneyville, NY with their three Labrador Retrievers. Life is never dull there though, especially when the grandkids visit.
After raising her four kids in the 19th Ward of Rochester (during which time she owned and managed a small tool & die company, worked as a paralegal and managed several inner city churches), Eileen is now a newspaper columnist with her own byline (Stories from the Lake) for the local paper (The Sun & Record) in Williamson, NY and a frequent free lance contributor to various other publications, including the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Eileen’s had two books published, "Rhythms and Rhymes of the Heart 2002-2004 A Love Story in Poems, Prose and Essay" (Steve likes to tell people it's about him, but then again it’s always about him, isn’t it???) and "George and Bob Stories, Life Lessons From Little Brothers", as well as several other books in the publishing process. She has a very dedicated following.
After nine years in the US Navy Submarine Service, Steve spent more than twenty years as an operator at the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power plant in Ontario, NY, leaving in April of 2007 to pursue a career as a stand up comedian. He had always carried the dream inside him, but as he said, life got in the way.
In 2002, Steve decided to do something about it and went to an open mic at a local Comedy Club... He’s been hooked on the laughter ever since… Now he produces shows locally at various venues and also tours the country.
Steve’s last tour, The Levity in the Face of Nuclear Disaster Tour, found him in places as far away as Chicago, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Minnesota and then on to NYC for appearances at The New York Comedy Club and The Broadway Comedy Club.
Steve and Eileen are now the subject of a reality TV series chronicling the day-to-day lives of two people over age 50… “Living their dreams… After living their lives.”
Camera crews will be following Steve and Eileen as he performs his stand up, while Eileen secures book signings, speaks at different functions and works for the local newspaper.
The portions filmed around town will be sure to include the flavor of Pultneyville, NY in all its charm and coziness.
Filming for the series pilot will began this past summer at Steve and Eileen’s home, during a picnic with family and friends to celebrate the birthday of Eileen’s daughter Mary, visiting from Manhattan.
Steve has promised his “boys” they’ll be more famous than Lassie, since she was a bitch anyway.
This segment will most likely NOT make it to air, but will be used as part of the pilot and will be a starting point for the series. Family and friends hiding from the law or an ex spouse, can stay in the house :)
The Steve and Eileen Show… a 21st century version of Ozzie and Harriet complete with a 21st century tattooed version of Ricky Nelson… Eileen’s oldest son Wesley, lead singer for the Denver Colorado rock band Ashfield.
It’ll be a kind of trip through their days and as they go on different adventures - It promises to be a fun time, please watch for the series premier coming soon, to a TV set near you!!!

I know I'm going out on a limb... but you may want to move out of upstate NY!! Thanks for being a good sport about Friday. I'm looking forward to working with you on the 22nd.
Steve, Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful, fun, somewhat wild day. Not too wild though, for instance, wouldn't want to find yourself performing comedy at some swingers convention in Vermont or anything like that..have a good one my fellow Aquarian! All the best, Linda
