Who is Steve Saroff??
Steve Saroff
First, just saying “Hello,” and trying to let you know who I am: I’m a writer, photographer and entrepreneur —obsessed with studying, reading, walking, mountain tops and shared stories. At 14, I walked alone 500 miles in the Appalachians, then another 500 miles alone when I was 15, and still another 1000 miles alone when I was 16. I Left home and school and hitchhiked West when I was 17. When I was 19 years old I spent 45 days alone in the Bob Marshall. That set the pace for everything that followed: I’ve never been intimidated by wilderness or ambitious plans.
I started programming as a kid when it was about as financially rewarding as knowing how to fix lawnmowers; I started coding because I loved it. I started building companies for the same reason.
Before the Internet (back when programmers could only make a living if they agreed to wear ties and work in cubes), I was a dishwasher, cook, waiter, truck-driver, general laborer, farm hand, nail-pounding carpenter, writer, cattle ranch-hand, musician, carpet installer (the second worst job I ever had), oil-field worker in Sydney, Montana, copy writer for ad agency (the worst), hay bucker, technician in a computer store (also very bad), and a firewood cutter (the best)– and all the time dreaming of where to go next…. experience interconnects…
