About the Author
Steve Horner is an outspoken social activist who was raised in
Minneapolis,Minnesota. As an Army infantryman in Vietnam he was
awarded the Purple Heart by Marine General Cushman for wounds
incurred in battle during the 1968 Tet offensive.Horner went on to work in the broadcast industry as an announcer,
account executive, and in management for the next ten years before
opening his own successful advertising agency and operating it out
of his home in Apple Valley, Minnesota for fifteen years.
Meanwhile, during most of the 80s and 90s he was raising his two
young sons as a full-time single parent. He became involved in
many volunteer stints, part of which involved working as a
parenting coach helping other parents successfully juggle the
demands of work and family.In 1999, and his sons grown and having moved into places of their
own, the author sold his Minnesota home and traveled throughout
the West while making extended business-and-pleasure pit stops in
Phoenix,Arizona, Bend,Oregon, Boise,Idaho, San Antonio,Texas, and
Denver,Colorado. Steve Horner is most widely known as the man who
battles the gender-priced bar-and-nightclub promotion known as
ladies'night.
"For me, it was never about the stupid bar promotion," Horner is quoted as saying regarding ladies'night in Denver's Westword. "It was always about pointing out the social problems created by hypocritical public policies. Getting that past people's biases has been a tough sell."
Over the years, Horner's self-written books have sold several
thousand copies and they all, in one way or another, point out the
problems created by hypocritical public policies.Horner is happy in his new home of St.George,Utah where he enjoys
time with outdoor sports and activities, corporate and public
speaking, and volunteer stints. The author will answer your
