Spit-Up & Keyser Soze...

Tuesday, 15 April 2014 06:10

STEVE SANDER is one of our favorite people. If you know him, chances are he is one of your faves, too.

He is an effervescent fellow with a wacky sense of humor. A true "Family Man," he has a beautiful wife and a couple of above average kids that he adores. He willingly changes diapers and is not grossed out when his youngest gets spit-up on his shirt (photo L).

Steve likes Florence and the Machine and The Shins. We weren't familar with The Shins, so we Googled them and listened to a song called "New Slang." It was pretty awesome.

As for movies, Steve is into The Shawshank Redemption (Who isn't?) and is one of the few people who know that it was filmed, in part, in Mansfield, Ohio. He also is a fan of "The Usual Suspects" and claims to have figured out that Verbal Kint was actually Kayser Soze long before Chazz Palminteri did. We don't believe him....

Steve is also a heckuva triathlete. Unfortunately, injuries sidelined him for the entire 2012 season. He returned to action last year but his results were a far cry from those he turned in between 2009 to 2011, wherein he won the Tri Minnesota Series title twice. During that period he won six races and racked up a total of 17 podium finishes.

Is 2014 the year that Steve returns as one of our state's Butt Kickers? We sure hope so. He's one of our favorites, you know.
