About Steve

Steve Mycynek is an engineer, artist, and standup comedian and lives in Somerville, Massachusetts with his wife and daughter and continues to tell stories to anyone who will listen. When he’s not working or with his family, he’s busy with all things related to model-making, chess, humor, and television. If enough copies of this book sell, he can retire and live his dream of being a full-time standup comedian or opening a franchise of after-school CAD and 3D-modeling studios for kids.

Father, Son, and Soldering Gun

Victor Mycynek, an engineer, craftsman, and forestry enthusiast, was not a politician, a celebrity, a CEO, or business owner. He wasn’t an artist or in the military. He didn’t live through the era of social media influencers. Still, just by being himself, he inspired the richest and fullest life possible for many people. It would be an understatement to say he used his time well.

Victor’s son, Steven, proves through stories about his father, some happy, sad, some funny, and some just plain odd, that accepting who you are and where you came from, quirks and all, can unleash an awesome force to impact the world around you for the better. Following Victor’s example, we all can learn to use our time well.
