Steve Katz

"Relocation"

Expectations of Kansas City run the gamut from the flat Great Plains to Dorothy and Toto to tornadoes. During my six decades living here I have not witnessed any of these. Based upon experiences of raising two daughters, an active participation in civic and cultural activities, and several rewarding careers, my personal views of Kansas City can be summed up as follows:

• A friendly town with Midwestern values
• An outstanding public education system at all levels
• A highway system by which you can reach city center in about 30 minutes.
• Among the most affordable housing in the nation.

Steve Katz is a third generation Kansas Citian. His specialty is giving newcomers a tour of the city with a dash of its history. Steve's love of the arts, music, and restaurants are reflected in his enthusiasm for Kansas City. He has authored two books titled Guides to Cycling Kansas City. Almost all rides include a place to eat and some battlefields, scenic spots and parks.

Steve also possesses a financial background as a result of twenty-one years as a stockbroker. He has an active interest in civic, cultural, and charitable organizations which include Harvesters-community food bank, Big Brothers / Big Sisters, and a breakfast club he started called Eggs & Issues. Steve's knowledge and love of Kansas City makes him a great tour guide and housing specialist with buyers relocating to Kansas City.
