Biography

Steve Stroble grew up as a military brat, which took him from South Dakota to South Carolina to West Germany to Ohio to Southern California to Alabama to the Philippines to Northern California. Drafted into the Army, he returned to West Germany.
He currently resides with his wife in California's fertile Central Valley, home to farm and ranch products from A to Z.

I sincerely hope my stories entertain and maybe even help you on this journey called life.
