Steve Visco's Bios

I consider myself middle-brained. I received a B.A. in English from the University of Maine in May of 2000, and promptly started using it in... computers. While this may not seem like a good fit, I have found that my ability to write has really come in handy! (I consider part of my job to translate computer-speak into English...) I was also lucky to receive excellent training while in school at a small student-run New Media group called ASAP. While there I learned the basics of project design that have really served me will working for Talent Search.

When not working, which does happen sometimes, I like to be active. During the summers I play in a men's wooden bat baseball league, and also spend a lot of time at my family's camp outside of Howland ME. Winters I like to spend skiing, preferably at Sugarloaf. The cold Maine winters were a shock to me when I moved here from New Jersey, but I have pretty much adjusted myself to them at this point, nine years later.

The Maine Educational Talent Search Project is funded entirely by the US Department of Education. The grant award for 2007-2008 is $510,255.
