Greetings! My name is Steven Quintin, I am originally from Rota, Spain. I arrived here  in the United States, back in 1964. My father was in the U.S. Navy at the time. I traveled a lot as a young child, mostly back east when my father was in Vietnam. My mother, sister and I lived in military housing most of the time. In 1966, my family settled down here in Ventura County where I have lived ever since.

I attended Channel Islands High School in the late 70s’. I graduated in 1981. After high school, I studied many programs over the course of time, attending local tech schools. Some previous occupations I have done ranged from respiratory therapy to real estate. I also studied stage performance/dance while attending school. This was more of a hobby that eventually brought in a little extra income.

I am married with three children and one grand child. I currently work for a retail store as an asset protection specialist. I am also a part time dance instructor. I teach several times during the week to supplement my income. Because of economic cut backs, I recently returned back to school after twenty-five years to finish my degree in environmental science.

I plan to enhance my opportunities by earning my associates degree in coastal environmental studies. My plans are to transfer to a four year university where I can obtain my Bachelors degree in Environmental Science. I hope to enter the field of water treatment or possibly environmental engineering.
