Steve Fullerton, or the other Steve as we have thought of him since he joined Kasper in 2017 is one of our superintendents. He is responsible for job sites, safety and materials. The other Steve is the product of small-town Southern Oklahoma, loving parents and his adolescence spent engaging in questionable decisions and participating in reasonable deniable experiences. Steve went through school and was raised in Plano but grew up in the North Dallas Residential construction business of the late seventies and eighties where a good time wasn’t necessarily had by all, but enough entertaining stories came out of those years that he’s set for life when the inevitable conversations get started around the pickup bed. Steve’s wife Debbie is a woman with nearly inexhaustible patience and a s sends of humor sufficient to allow her to stick it out with him for forty-two years. He helped her raise three children. Steve is the son and grandson of builders; he is the great grandson of a circuit preacher in Alabama. Further genealogical study might unearth Irish Highwaymen, and other forms of ne’er do wells or perhaps an American Indian or three. Steve’s focus in construction was originally interior trim and cabinets. At thirteen he trimmed his first house for a local builder who found himself in a bind after releasing his somewhat problematic and work ethics challenged subcontractor. Little did our potential oceanographer, pilot or engineer know that the siren song of easy money and natural talent would permanently derail imagined childhood alternatives to being the third generation in his family to take up a hammer and make a living. Dizzee Dean said it best “it ain’t braggin’ if you can do it.” Steve’s home life has always been centered on his wife, children and lately his grandson and a Staffordshire mutt named Alison, with time set aside for his hobbies. Those hobbies once included and unfortunate adult fascination with Hot Wheels collecting that thankfully ran its course without requiring intervention or pharmaceuticals. Then a couple of years ago Steve picked a Coleman lantern up off a curb. Today he still doesn’t have enough lanterns to line a runway but it’s not for lack of trying. Steve is an avid reader and movie buff with shelves and boxes overflowing with both.
