Meet Steve Tillson, Board Treasurer

Steve started five years ago as a Silver member, as a place to work out. His wife started swimming several times a week, and Steve began working to rehab after shoulder surgery. Then Steve discovered Pickleball. The more Steve learned about the NECC and the community mission, the more he was hooked.

Steve was inspired by the stories Steve heard about the history of the facility, and Steve is dedicated to help make us ready for the next 100 years. There is always a lot to do. The board is made up of people with genuine affection for the facility and the community, and a determination to make sure we are in a position to serve.

Steve was a builder for a solid 50 years, doing residential reconstruction and renovation, as well as building custom homes. Now Steve is retired, only working 200-250 days a year.

Steve used college to prepare him to be a writer-Steve imagined being an English teacher. After using up his body as a builder for many decades, Steve was able to achieve that goal many years later, acquired a teaching credential in California, and taught English in high schools. Most recently Steve has been tutoring literacy at a local charter school. Steve has coached youth sports for over 20 years.

Steve is the lucky father of three fantastic people, two of whom live locally.
