Steve Gentry

I attended Appalachian State and graduated in 1992 with a degrees in Communications, Biology and Mixology 101, LOL. I loved Boone so much I stuck around for 3 extra years, delaying maturity as much as possible. I was an active student on campus and involved in several business and charitable organizations. I was one of 41 founding fathers of Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity, serving on the executive council my junior and senior year. I travel often to Boone for football games and keep in close touch with my chapter. I sit of the Board of Trustees for both ATO in Boone and the ATO Chapter here at NC State.

While I was in school, I worked part-time for a real estate law firm and parlayed that experience into a couple of paralegal jobs when I moved to Raleigh. I took a position in 96 as a real estate paralegal with David Shearon, a local Wake Co. Atty. I advanced to lead paralegal and handled approx. 600 closings a year...for 12 years with Shearon Law.

I'm a member of several professional paralegal organizations and obtained my NC State Bar Certification in 2007. This year I've gone out on my own, doing contract paralegal work for several firms in Raleigh. I also have a new home base with Maitin Law Firm in N. Raleigh. Buying a house in Durham, Franklin, Johnston or Wake County? Gimme a holler..I'll take care of you! LOL... My work email address is stevegentry@ncrrbiz.com.

I currently reside in N. Raleigh where I bought a home in 2002. I have two dogs, a couple of roommates, tons of friends and NEVER a dull moment.

I talk a lot too. I'm SURE yall haven't forgotten that.

Are you kidding? I saw it all...some favorites though:

-driving the getaway car after Lori O'Brients house got egged. Don't listen to Gaynelle, it wasn't my idea.

-that rutty gravel parking lot we all had to park in. My camero got stuck, so I took pictures of it having to be pushed out, then wrote an editorial in The Rock the next week. That got us new gravel! You know, they spared no expense back then.

-Hauling everybody around in my first car....THAT chevette. Loved having my license first.

-Taking that tragic chevette up and down the power line hills behind Goshen Graveyard one Halloween, and tearing out the suspension. The next week I got that silver camero.

-Senior Skip Day when you ALL came to my lake lot, even though I didn't invite anybody! I still hear about that from my folks, LOL.

-Maria Solomon's Fiero! She was the 1st to have one. It may as well have been a Delorean! That car was hot!

Heather, I'm going to still call you Renee too...if that's OK. Less confusion is better.

LONG LIVE THE CLASS OF 88
