A Brief Biography of
Steven Salemi

A Sputnik Baby (Born 1958)

The Early Years (1958-1970s)

• Born February 22, 1958 at 1:17AM (Pisces) at Glen Cove Hospital in Glen Cove (Long Island), New York.
• Youngest of three children, only child not to be given middle name (WHY???)

• Showed remarkable verbal abilities at early age -- I could read before I entered kindergarten. Since the purpose of Kindergarten was to teach me to read, however, there wasn't much for me to do there.
• I did have trouble tying my shoelaces and telling time -- and later in life, I had a devil of a time learning to tie a necktie -- this was possibly a defense/rebellion mechanism against parental efforts at teaching me the same -- and, in the case of a necktie, a very sound defense mechanism against getting trapped in some horribly dull corporate job.
• Uniformly excellent academic grades throughout my schooling were marred by severe behavioral deficiencies, "lack of self-control," interrupting teachers to tell jokes, etc. Was often sent to the hall and the Principal's office as punishment.

The Later Years (1970s-1980s)

• 1980 Graduate of Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island ("The Dear Old School"), majoring in European History
• Married in 1984, Divorced in 1987, never remarried, open to possibility
• Established "Bottom Line Communications," a Massachusetts Corporation, in 1983. Consulted for major
  East-Coast Computer and Technology Companies for ten years.
• Fit the "Yuppie" mold pretty well throughout the 1980s, liked the money, but my heart was never in it.
• Drove and loved my 1984 VW Rabbit Convertible and 1987 VW Cabriolet (sorely-missed).

The fabulous Malibu Beach House of 1993-1994
(20016 Pacific Coast Highway) is now a gutted wreck. The former
tenant (pictured) is in somewhat better condition!

Off The Rails: Santa Fe and Beyond and Back (1990s)

• Abandoned Bottom Line Communications, Moved To Santa Fe, New Mexico in February 1991
• Studied massage therapy and natural healing at Dr. Jay Scherer's Institute of Natural Healing,
  graduating in September, 1991
• Moved to Malibu, California in fall 1993 with a vague plan to become rich and famous somehow.
  Just missed the fires but arrived in plenty of time for the mudslides and the big quake of January 1994.
• Lived and traveled for several years in Santa Fe and Vallecitos, New Mexico;
  and Livingston, Montana. Took occasional bogus jobs during this time to pay the rent
• Became obsessed with VW "Kubelwagens," possibly a reaction to a WWII Past Life
• Intensive/Extensive self-exploration and spiritual study and practice in this time
• Established The Computer Guru Business in June 1996
• Created The Computer Guru Radio Show in early 1997
• Founded The Computer Guru Ashram, 844 Agua Fria (at St. Francis Drive) in Santa Fe in late 1997

Building a Y2K-Compatible Lifestyle (1999-on)

• Ran The Computer Guru business profitably and well for several years, developing "Rhino Skin" in the process of
  learning to deal with that frightening and challenging group of people known as "The Public."
• Completed "Walden 2000," a series of humorous essays, in 1998. Much of this enjoyable and entertaining
  work can be viewed in various forms on any of the author's three web sites
• Created a new website, screen-writer.com, to promote my writing and creative activities
• Completed a new feature-length screenplay "Accidental Heaven," and am aggressively marketing this script to
  Hollywood as we speak, whilst beginning work on fabulous new feature comedies and other film scripts, including "Three Gentle Passions" and "The Wizard of Casablanca."
