Steve A. Balsamo

Steve A. Balsamo was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. His Mom moved them to Southern California when he was just 14, and that's where he now resides with his lovely wife of 38 years, Chocolate. He spends his time between his homes in Capistrano Beach and Big Bear Lake when he's not traveling.

Steve built a large Furniture Mfg. Company out of his garage (Creative Ideas) in his mid 20's and retired at 52. He is noted for some of the very first computer desks, and his unique designs, quality and functionally. He now dabbles in real estate, property management, investing and of course writing and selling his auto biography.

The book "Through My Eyes" is three years in the making and it's a tribute to his hard work, dedication and true grit. Despite never writing before, Steve, self taught himself to write and publish this book. He has a "Never give up - Never give in" attitude that is essential in any success story.

When he's not working on his properties or his books Steve spends his days in what he calls "Happily Ever After" (the title of his next book.) That includes hanging out with his wife, family and friends, going to movies, ballgames or out to dinner. Steve loves sports (The LA Dodgers, Lakers and the Dallas Cowboys)and playing backgammon or cards with his buddies.
