Steve Busch, WSRFC 2017
Occupation: Middle School Teacher
Dream Job: Jet Pilot
Nickname: Big Steve
How long have you played with Suburbs: since 2005ish
Which team do you look forward to playing most: The next team on the schedule. I just love playing rugby so every day I get to step on the field against an opposing side is a good day for me. 
Favorite Beer:  Morning Glory Espresso Stout (Dominion Brewery), Imperial (Costa Rica)
Favorite Suburbs Memory: 
On the field- When I first started with the club I was playing B side and an old boy (I can't remember which one) came up to me and said if you score a try today I will buy a keg for the team. So about halfway through the first half I took a penalty tap over the try line to score. The old boy lived up to his word and bought a keg for the team at our next home social.  
Off the field- The outpouring of support the team showed when my mom passed. It was impressive to me and the rest of my family. 
Who has most impacted your rugby career: Probably the academic advisor from my college team Doc Warner. He called me after I was accepted in college because I checked rugby as a club I might be interested in, and told me to show up to college a week early for rugby camp.  By the end of the end of that week I was an A-side prop playing a game that I didn't understand and loving it. If it wasn't for Doc I may have never stepped onto a rugby pitch. 
What do you love most about Suburbs: I love the people. We are a diverse group who all come together to work towards one goal. We all look out for each other on and off the field.

County rules do not allow us to use turf fields if there is snow or ice on them so practice will be held at Blue Iguana at 7:30 PM instead.
