Steve Kesslering
Co-Founder
In his earlier years Steve owned and operated an irrigation installation company, which he ran successfully for decades. As the original knowledge and experience base that brought The Rusty Shovel to its prominence today, Steve has taken a step towards retirement – but isn’t all the way there yet! He works behind the scenes for us in the summer keeping our books in order and providing guidance on product and operation decisions. If it’s not a hurricane wind, you’ll likely find Steve on the golf course, working in his yard, or watching a game.
