Steve Vilendrer

Steve graduated from Eden Prairie High School in 2002 in the top of his class. He was the only student in his nine hundred member class to be selected as a "Governor's Scholar", a "Triple-A honor student" (Arts, Athletics, and Academics), and Homecoming King. He played both varsity track (short-distance) and football (wide receiver; defensive back), and helped lead his team to a state victory in 2001. He found time to be part of a jazz musical group. Steve also proved to be a gifted thespian, a passion he first discovered in his middle school performance "Krazy Kamp". He proved himself a dedicated perfectionist when he organized extra, late-night rehearsals with director Rolf Olson to fine tune his acting performances. Most noteworthy of his roles are John Proctor in "The Crucible", and Sky Masterson in "Guys & Dolls". In the Fall of 2002, Steve enrolled in Carleton College, a private, liberal arts school in Northfield, Minnesota. He majored in Economics and minored in French. He continued his love affair with sports playing wide receiver in football and competing in track. Steve graduated from Carleton College in 2006, Magna Cum Laude.
