Tim Steinke
My wife Erin and my first big journey together went around the world in 100 days for
our honeymoon, a trip in which I had one car accident and got one speeding ticket in every country that we visited (I think that I may still have an arrest warrant in New Zealand for an unpaid ticket, but we’ll keep that between us). We currently
live in Washington State; we own a winery, ski after work and hike as much as our elderly knees will let us.
