Steve Iacopi was a life long resident of the California coastside and has recently moved to Enumclaw, Wa. Steve grew up with a farmer as a father and a real estate broker as a mother. He spent most of his earlier life farming, fishing, hunting, riding motorcycles and working on trucks and tractors with his two brothers. He then went to 3 years of junior college and started a career of body and fender work. After 2 years of painting cars, he started Coastside Termite in 1995 with his brother. Steve is married to a lovely wife and has 2 wonderful children. At a young age, Steve became interested in photography because of his uncle in Santa Cruz, Ca. who was a pro photographer. He was amazed at how his pictures captured life in a simple yet complex way. It wasn’t until 2007 before he bought a Canon S5 IS which is only one step above a simple point and shoot camera and was amazed with the quality of the photos he took. That was the beginning of the photography bug. Steve now has Canon SLR cameras, lots of pro lenses and tripod. He now is always searching for the time to push the shutter button and to create a simple yet complex photo of life…..
