Steve Adams is a transplant from Gresham. He and his family moved to Corbett in 1997. While dining at Heidi's restaurant in Gresham, he and wife Dawn saw a real estate magazine advertising land in Corbett. Driving by the property, they stopped and saw boats going up and down the Columbia River. It was then they knew this was the spot for them. They made an offer on the land and then Steve built their current home. Raising a son and daughter in Corbett, one is now married, the other heading off to college in the fall. Over the years, a favorite memory for Steve has been building floats to enter in the July 4th Parade with his kids. Now that the kids are grown, he and Dawn still try to watch the parade each year. Steve enjoys the magnificent views from the many windows in their home. Despite the weather, it is always a great view to see both up and down the river. As a contractor the last 25 years in the Portland eastside area, Steve has purchased numerous homes and either flipped them for a profit or kept them for a rental. Both he and Dawn are always looking for their "next project." When not busy with construction, one can find him on the slopes of Mt. Hood (he has already skied 20 times this season) or out on the lake water skiing. He greatly enjoys the outdoors and staying active. When asked if he plans to move anytime soon, it was a short and sweet answer. "No."
