California Garden Grove

James Stephen Fossett was born 22 April 1944, in Jackson, Tennessee. Childhood and youth were spent in Garden Grove in California. From a young age, Steve Fossett was a member of the scout movement. IN 1966 Fossett graduated from Stanford University with a degree in economics. IN 1968 year he was awarded the title of Master of Economics at the University of Washington at St. Louis, Missouri. In the same year, Steve Fossett married Peggy Wieland.. To 40 years Fossett was known exclusively in business circles. He had a highly successful career in the stock exchange, and even became the founder of the largest US trading corporation Lakota Trading Inc., co-owner of Scaled Composites. IN 1985 year, apparently, bored with business achievements, Steve Fossett decided to swim across the English Channel. It was just a challenge to myself – and from the fourth time he did it. By the way, interesting, that Steve made his first extreme achievement, without investing a dollar in it. In the future, he will also be extremely practical to surrender to his passion for extreme entertainment..
