| Lista Products |
You name it! Steve has close to 70 Lista cabinets and Storage Wall® units. He has Storage Wall Systems in every size, shape and configuration; drawer storage cabinets in a variety of heights, widths and depths; work areas with counter tops over cabinets; workbenches; overhead cabinets and much more. |
| Why Lista? |
"I'm an organization freak. The thing I really like most about the Lista system is that you can customize the drawer layouts to exactly match your storage needs. And then there's the wide variety of products, and the flexibility of the system. For the same reasons, Lista products make great office furniture. I really believe in the products." |
| What is the Ultimate Garage about? |
"I design for everyone from small hobbyists to very elaborate home garages to racing trailers. I design every job as if I were doing it for myself, because it has to be a project I can be proud of."~ |
| What's the attraction of designing garages? |
"I spent 20 years at IBM, so this is a second career for me. Basically, I enjoy getting my hands dirty. I'm a car nut, but more than that, I'm a tool nut." |
| Steve's Cars |
2001 Mercedes/AMG E55 (limited production), 2003 Mercedes ML500, 2003 Mini Cooper S |
| What do your customers think of Lista products? |
"They're very impressed with Lista. A lot of my jobs start with the use of just one Lista piece, and over the years the customers end up buying 30 or 40 pieces!" |
| Women are from Venus, men are from the garage |
"The garage is like a man's kitchen." |
