I changed my name from Tobey Willinski to Steven Wells in 1980. I went to MIT and got a degree in physics, went to Stevens Institute of Technology and got a Masters in Engineering. I was married for some years to a PV class of 72 alumna.

I worked with lasers for a dozen years, then became a CAD guru, and now I'm a technical writer in Silicon Valley. In 2008, I ran as the Libertarian candidate for the US House of Representatives, California 16th District. Of course it's just about impossible for a non-Democrat to win here in La-La-Land.

Recently spinning my wheels, going nowhere in a hurry, I've mainly been doing contract work documenting software components for various little companies you may have heard of: Microsoft, Google, PayPal, eBay, Adobe, Autodesk. Waiting to hear if I've gotten a new job documenting semiconductor manufacturing and metrology technologies.

A bunch of years ago, I acquired a daughter when we mutually adopted each other. She is currently living in India with my son-in-law and granddaughter.

If you'd like to reminisce about old times or new, you can contact me directly at my steve@wizardtechlab.com email.

My first Corvette, purchased new in 1985. This is me in southern central Oregon when I was younger. Time takes its toll.

I bought this 2019 Grand Sport Corvette from my brother, who had purchased a 2020 C8. I added a Lambo-doors modification. My old 2004 felt smooth and easy-going, yet powerful. In contrast, this one feels like piloting a rhinoceros that can jump to 60 miles per hour in less than 4 seconds and turn like a cheetah.

Hi Karen,
Happy Birthday to You!
Earlier today, I received an early birthday wish from fellow PV classmate Al Moussab, with whom I share a birthday on the 15th. He commented, "… always glad to wish a fellow classmate happy birthday." In replying in kind to him, I recalled to myself (and him) that today is your birthday, and we've been classmates since First Grade. Washington Park looks so different than when we were there. I took the attached picture when in town for the Reunion in June.
Again, Happy Birthday, and many more.
Steve Wells

In late 2020 after buying a 2019 Corvette (my 5th Vette), I sold my beautiful 2004, shown here at the Big Creek Bridge vista point. Its Lambo-doors modification is not visible in this picture.

Hi Al,
Happy Birthday to You, too. Also late. Sorry!
The PV website doesn't make it clear what name to use after a complete name change. My legal filing was way back on February 29, 1980, so I've been Steve Wells ever since.

Portrait from 2009. My hair is longer than this now in 2025, just a lot thinner on top.
