“I have always found humor on my journey to today, including the years since 2013 when Parkinson’s hitched a ride. Look, I know having PD sucks, and is a serious medical issue with significant consequences for those affected by it. I feel the weight of it myself and see it in my friends and family. Sometimes, though, I just have to smile, giggle or laugh out loud about the experiences I have living with PD. It is all about the irony and humility of the human spirit mixed with a little sarcasm and a shot of whiskey or glass of cabernet franc!”
Steve Steinberg has been living with Parkinson’s Disease for almost ten years. He is a father, brother, son, painter, photographer, writer and music lover. Educated and trained as a Social Worker, Steve worked in the public mental health system for over 28 years. In addition, he has helped veterans experiencing post-traumatic stress, people experiencing housing challenges, and more than a few friends seeking free advice. Born in Los Angeles, California, he spent most of his childhood in the New England area and returned to Southern California for his teen years with a “wicked” Boston accent which he promptly lost. After stints in several Southern and Central California cities, Steve moved to Temecula in 1999 in pursuit of good schools, clean air, tract homes and conveniently located wineries. He has two adult children who encourage him to share his sense of humor about Parkinson’s with you and not them for a change. If you want to know more, read this blog.
