Bruttig, Steve: - Steve Bruttig crafted a career from military service, investigative medical science, the business of science management, consulting, and volunteering, once he retired. For a time, he was also a merchant. All of these roles caused him to observe his surroundings, life, people, science, and the world. An interest in cosmology caused him to question the universe and its form and function. And his faith helped him put it all in perspective. Thus, he began to search and to write about what he saw, read or found- hence this first book, First and Foremost. Today, Steve is retired ad writing, and lives with his wife on a small family farm in rural Nebraska. They have a son and daughter, and two grandchildren.
