Vicki's been reading and writing and drawing ever since she can remember. While Steve was busy blowing up his chemistry set, Vicki was writing her first novel, Pigs in Space, published by her third grade teacher. She contributes to Winding Oak her experience within public and private libraries, bookstores, children's literature, architectural and law offices. She finds her background useful for marketing, designing, researching, writing, and organizing the many aspects of her clients' promotional needs. She's keeping a list online of the books she's currently reading. Curious?

Steve's early experiments with his chemistry set might have turned other children to milder pursuits, yet he ventured on to dismantling watches and toasters and occasionally finding a way to break his Tonka Toys. Early interests do blossom...Steve remains a dogged researcher when it comes to website design and technical challenges. His work at the University of Minnesota's Horticultural Research Center brought a thorough knowledge of computers to Winding Oak. His artistic nature expresses itself in creative websites and his scientific nature hunkers down over databases, thrilling to the challenge of problem-solving.
