About Steven Berger
I once longed for the life of the great explorer Richard Burton, but now I'm a sometimes contented stay-at-home father of three in Central New Jersey. Wanderlust aside, I've had a number of incarnations; journalist, music teacher, peddler of Balinese furniture, dixieland tuba player, curator of art and failed sky diver. My record coaching my son's youth soccer and basketball teams is abysmal but I'm trying to prove my mettle as a runner and barbeque pitmaster. My wife Brenda might not scale Kilimanjaro with me but she will certainly make sure that I look good doing it.
