Welcome!

 

It's become a bit unwieldly trying to manage information on my professional and volunteer activities as well as let people know where to go for additional information on organ transplantation and lighthouses. My solution: A one-stop Steve Okonek website covering my interests and hopefully some of your's as well. You'll find my resume, writing samples, and recent photography as well as information on the San Francisco Bay Area TRIO chapter of which I am currently president and Pigeon Point Lighthouse near Pescadero where I have volunteered for nearly 20 years. Hope you find the site helpful, and I welcome your comments! Steve

  •Interested in lighthouses? I will be teaching a course titled "The Freighter Came in through the Bathroom Window." The Lighthouse and California Maritime History on Friday, February 29, 2008 at the College of San Mateo. Learn about beacons for bootleggers, blimp/lighthouse collisions, submarine lookout towers, movie locales, as well as the traditional live saving and ship guiding roles of lighthouses. Join Steve Okonek for a fascinating and sometimes irreverant look at the state's original lighthouses following the Gold Rush as well as current active aids to navigation. Contact me for more information or look for the brochure mailed to San Mateo County residents in early January.
