On April 23rd, 1982, Stephen Edward Bourque was born in Walnut Creek, California, to loving parents, Bill and Susan Bourque. At an early age, Steve began to show a deep interest in two activities that have remained favorites of his into adulthood: being noisy and making messes. He also came to be regarded in some circles as a musical prodigy when, at just three years old, he performed a stirring rendition of "We are the World" from the top of a staircase. For the past 29 years, Steve has spent his every waking moment cultivating a vast pool of talen, which commonlu leaves friends, family, coworkers, and even complete strangers in awe. In addition to many others, Steve counts among his accomplishments:
- Learning to ride a bike without the use of training wheels
- Becoming an accomplished hairstylist without the benefit of professional training
- devising innovative recipes to combine carbs and cheese into new and unique meals
- constructing massive structure entirely out of cake and frosting
- amassing a collection of valuable "treasures" (not to be confused with what mainstream psychologists refer to as "hoarding")
- completing a grueling 100-mile mountain bike race on three separate occasions
- creatings more dirty clothes that any other beings to have walked the planet
- fixing garbage disposals, iPods, bikes, and pretty much all other broken items that have come his way
- wooing Jenny McKinney, despite the fact that he is noisy and messy and frequently smells kind of bad
In the many years he has left on this earth, Steve strives to refine these talents and develop still further ones, particularly with regard to learning to block out Jenny's nagging to eat more vegetables and clean the shower. When he has accomplished this goal and acquired sufficient "treasures" to risk having his living quarters condemned, he will have fully self-actualized."
