Steven has been a part of Tempus Unlimited since 2021, beginning his journey with the support of a job coach in our Employment Services program. He successfully interviewed for a summer administrative position within Tempus, and what started as a seasonal role grew into something more. Stevens’ strong work ethic and reliability led to a permanent part-time position. Now more than four years later, Steven continues to work as an important member of the Employee Management team. He helps with organizing paperwork, transporting files to the mailroom, and assisting with daily tasks in the office.
Outside of work, Steven has a wide variety of interests and talents. He loves fishing, drawing, playing guitar, studying military aircraft, listening to music, and even writing his own! He enjoys playing with his family’s dog, Bailey, and takes pride in helping care for the vegetables in the garden where he lives. Each year, Steven seeks out monarch butterfly eggs in milkweed fields, raising them into butterflies as part of his personal effort to support the monarch population. To stay healthy and active, Steven makes use of our Wellness Center once a week to maintain his fitness goals.
When asked about his experience at Tempus Unlimited, Steven shares, “This is the best job I’ve ever had. I really like my bosses and coworkers. Whenever I need help, they are there. I feel good when I finish all my work.” His words reflect not only his gratitude, but also the sense of belonging he has found here.
“I am so proud of Steven and how far he has come. When I first started working with Steven, I supported him during all three of his shifts. Steven has shown such great progress that I now only come in to support him 1x monthly on the job and we check in by phone every other week or as needed. His growth is so incredible, he has demonstrated workplace independence and is using all the skills that he has learned throughout the years. I am so glad I’m a part of his journey.”
