A Guy With Spine

By Marty Nemko

Steve Brack graduated from college with a degree in physics. Based on a gut feeling, he decided to forget about physics and move to New Mexico to start a cactus nursery. Everyone thought he was crazy. In a way, he was. It's taken 30 years and only recently has his business really started rolling. Until not long ago he took odds jobs to survive, but he's glad he stayed the course. Steve's advice: "Just put one foot in front of the other and don't expect to reach your goal in ten steps. 10,000 is more like it, but it's worth it because the journey is fun in itself."
