God, it is said, once stated that Before Time Was, I Am.  Well, shortly after that I Was Too. 

        Now I know that sounds a bit presumptuous if not blasphemous but its how I feel.  Before this life I feel we all were.  And beyond this life we will be.  But since I remember very little of what came before, I will fill you in on what has happened since I was born into this form.

        I was born on August 16, 1948, at 1:58 AM, Eastern Standard Time at the Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio.  And I have the papers to prove it.  My parents are Lula E. Steberl and George Steberl Jr..  Mom is gone but Dad is still with us and going strong at 81 years old.

        I am married and have been for 32 years to my wife, Tari Linn, and we have two kids, Jacob Adam (22) and Hillary Alexa (20).  I am a Goldsmith and have my own business, Benchworks Jewelers, in Centerville, Ohio.

        More than that I find hard to believe would be of interest so I will leave the rest of who and what I am to the other pages in this site.  After all, it is not what I am but who I am that really matters.
