About Me

Hello from SRA Steve...

I keep very busy juggling my dual careers as a professional in the health and aging services industries as well as in academia.
I currently work in Central Florida's Area Agency on Aging/Aging Resource Center aka Senior Resource Alliance directing special projects, program development, education and outreach.  Check out the Growing Bolder Senior Resource Alliance group for more information.  I'm also an adjunct professor in social gerontology/aging.

Have a "growing bolder" day!
Steve

Heroes

“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal,” wrote C. S. Lewis-- so I'd say we're all heroes!
