Steve Who?

My name is Steven Edward Wiggs.  I was born in Chula Vista, CA in the 70s, the only child of my dad and mom.  My dad has a son and daughter from a previous marriage.  At the time of launching this blog, I have not seen or spoken to my half-sister in decades.  My half-brother and I have reunited our families after distance and time came between us.  For many years, I considered myself an only child.

I met my wife, Ronne Pietila, at Bonita Vista High School in 1987.  We started dating the summer of 1989, and  after ten years of dating, breaking up, living with each other, and making sure we were able to face the life ahead of us together, we married on September 18, 1999.  Our marriage is not perfect, but our love for each other makes up for the imperfections.

We had our first son, Micah Kahloe Pietila-Wiggs, on August 29, 2000.  After careful planning, Ronne and I had our second son, Keli'i Blu Pietila-Wiggs, 5 years later.  I married into a large family, and the most of us live in Eastlake, Chula Vista, CA.

I have a Bachelors Degree in Psychology, and am currently working on completing a Masters Degree in Education. My wife has a Bachelors Degree in English Language Arts, and a Masters Degree in Health Science. We both work in education. I am an Interventions Coordinator, and my wife is an Assistant Principal.

Micah received a full ride scholarship to the University of New Mexico for baseball in 2018, and Keli'i started his first year at San Diego State in August, 2023.

On January 22, 2022, a phone call changed our lives forever.
