\"Funkhouser<\/p>\n

Born at Marian Hospital and then a student at Fesler Junior High, Santa Maria High School, and Allan Hancock College, Steven Funkhouser developed a passion for the City and an appreciation for his community at a young age.<\/h3>\n

In 2009, Steven opened Starry Sky Coffee, a small coffee shop located on the campus of Allan Hancock College. Named after his daughters, Starr and Skyler, the business has operated for over 13 years, offering students part-time employment opportunities and actively giving back to the region.<\/p>\n

In addition to his work as a small business owner, Steven serves as a board member or chair to numerous local non-profits, including: President \u2013 Santa Maria Valley Contractors Association, Chair \u2013 Leadership Santa Maria Valley, and Member \u2013 Santa Maria Valley Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n

As a father of two young children, Steven has dedicated countless hours to the health and wellbeing of the area\u2019s youth. He is a Board Member for Fighting Back Santa Maria Valley, an organization that informs children about the dangers of drugs and alcohol, and focuses on building a healthier community. He also serves as the Chair and Charter Advisor for the Antlers Youth Program, Elks Lodge 1538.<\/p>\n
