Steve Welch grew up in Daytona Beach, and currently lives in Winter Garden, Florida.

He’s been a theme park entertainment director, radio morning show host, author, convenience store clerk on the midnight shift, and line cook at a beachside seafood joint.

Welch has also had the good fortune to travel the world performing waterski shows with a roving band of aquatic warriors and renegade cultural emissaries known as The Stars of Florida.

Those experiences informed his new satirical novel, "FloridaWorld."
