Time to introduce Steve Daniels, the Canyoneers' current General Manager. This next personnel profile may be longer than most of the ones I have already posted here or may eventually post here in the future, but if it is, then so be it. With no further ado, then, let's start trying to get to know at least a bit about him here as best as we can, folks.

Steve Daniels was born on December 30, 1899 in Wilmington Manor, Delaware to Robert Stanley and Setahu, a native of Egypt circa 1285 BC, as their first son and child. His father was an archeologist's son of about a year or two old when he got suddenly whisked into the past while his parents were working on an archeological expedition with a good-sized dig crew. When he returned from the past after spending one day in it, and having not been seen in his own time for that long, he was not alone. For a young girl about his age was mysteriously next to him wearing Egyptian baby clothes from that time, which was basically just a smock of some sort and a loincloth. Not knowing who she was, and not finding anything that might identify her family and all, a member of his father's dig crew soon took her in and adopted and raised her to adulthood.

Robert Stanley grew up learning not only English and a number of other modern languages, but also several ancient languages as well. Languages such as Ancient Egyptian and Sanskrit, to name just two. While Setahu already knew her mother tongue fairly well for someone of her age, she still hadn't fully learned it by the time she appeared suddenly in the 20th Century AD as she had, of course. However, as she grew, she learned it, and was sufficiently fluent in it by the time she was ten years old, picking up Hebrew and other Middle Eastern languages along the way as well. And she also learned English and Greek and Latin over time, but she was not sufficiently fluent in them until her early teens, however.

By the time Setahu and Robert Stanley were both about to finish high school, they'd decided to consider marriage in the very near future, after having started to date each other when they were both 15 years of age. They got engaged to each other the first day of their senior year of high school at a school in New Mexico, and set a date for their wedding of the day after their high school graduation.

About a year and a half later, more or less, Steve was then born. Within fifteen more years, six more siblings were born to Robert Stanley and Setahu, including four more boys. Steve grew up the son of an archeologist and a foreign language and world history teacher in various places mainly all over the United States and Canada, but primarily in the American Southwest, largely because it in some ways reminded his parents of the North African desert from which his mother had come from, for instance. He frequently traveled all over the world with his family, and especially to North Africa and the Middle East, whenever and wherever he then did so.

It was while he and his family were off on yet another summer archeological dig in Persia that he met his future wife, a young beauty of fifteen, during a bit of random wandering near the dig site in question. However, she was not dressed in modern-style attire when he first saw her, but in a long-flowing set of robes that appeared to be from a much earlier time, yet new. When he asked her who she was, in somewhat broken Farsi, seeing as he didn't yet know it very well, she told him her name was Parvin, of the Sadeghi family, in Farsi, and that she had run away from her family in an attempt to avoid being married to a high-level Persian noble who was more than four times her age with a small harem of women already.

He soon asked her how she'd come to where he'd first seen her, and she said that she'd been running away from some Imperial Guards, before finding an unoccupied and apparently abandoned house, and falling asleep in a bed she'd found there. The next thing she knew, she'd woken up in that bed, and found herself in an unfamiliar room. Hearing nearby voices in the house she didn't recognize, she quite quickly fled it, running off from it in a randomly-chosen direction. While fleeing, and trying to find out just where and when she now was, she had then encountered him suddenly and unexpectedly, in truth.

It wasn't too much later before Steve learned that she was from the time just after the fall of the Babylonian Empire to the Medo-Persian Empire, and more about Parvin and her family. When he told her about herself and her family, she soon told him that she was glad she'd never have to deal with them again, and why. She told him several stories of her youth and early adolescence, and by the time she was done, even he was crying and not a little angry at many members of her now-long-departed family. It took several years of mutual healing to deal with their feelings about such matters, but once they'd dealt with them, they resolved never to talk about them to anyone else ever again, if they didn't absolutely have to. Not even their future children, for sure.

They married several years after their first meeting, just as soon as they felt ready enough to do so, when he was 21 and she 20, in Phoenix, Arizona. They then waited until he'd finally finished law school and she'd begun working as an artist/fashion designer/novelist to start a family with each other, ultimately settling near Flagstaff, Arizona. Their first child was born in 1926, and over the next dozen or so years, four more children ultimately followed.

After the Second World War, the Canyoneers were quickly created, and Justin Geissler was looking for a suitable General Manager to help them get them started off well from a business and legal standpoint. After interviewing several candidates, including Steve, he ultimately offered Steve the job. Steve took it, although not without at least a little trepidation about it at first. Parvin convinced him to take the offer and do the best he could in that position, ultimately.

He and Parvin still live with two of their five children where they've lived ever since settling in Flagstaff. They have a very happy marriage, and their home is always filled with a lot of love and good times. They don't know what the future holds, but as long as they're still able to be with each other, they believe everything will always work out for them and those close to them, ultimately.

Picture(s) and certain other information will be shared later as possible and all, I'm sure. The next personnel profile that's most likely to be shared here will be for Josh Bruce, the Canyoneers' current field Manager. Please watch for it to be posted here as quickly as possible. Thank you all for your time and attention here, of course, folks. CD out.
