Pirate Ship Bedroom By Steve Kuhl

Steve Kuhl says: "I have been building since leaving my diapers, and yes, that was many years ago. Check out the little article on one of my first projects. I learned my passion for the act of creation from two men: my step father, Cody Edwards, and my grand father, George Grooms. Both showed me, through completely different avenues, the importance of curiosity and passion for ones' calling. I began wrecking things at the age of three. By the time I was five I started to figure out how to some of it went back together. I have continued the process of demolition, examination and rebuilding since that time. This is how I process my business, my mind and my spirit. I am always looking for new means of creation and I love what I do.
I started my first business at Glen Lake Elementary School, in Minnetonka, at the age of 11. I was a candy pusher, although I preferred the title 'confection facilitator'. The school forced me out of business within a couple of months because I was disrupting the student body, or at least the metabolism of the student body. To this day the school still disallows students from selling candy in school. I am sort of proud of that.
When I was seventeen I hijacked my older sisters phone line to use for my next business. Hence was the beginning of Kuhl's Contracting, a company that provided painting and cedar roof restoration services. That company still exists today, stronger than ever. In fact, we still use my sister's old phone number for our main company line. She stopped charging me royalties back in the early 90's."
