Steeven Nelson
If you know Steeven, you know he’s like a moth to a flame when it comes to taking chances. Steeven is an entrepreneur,paw & plant parent, thrill seeker, and outdoor enthusiasts. Originally from Charleston, SC, Steeven is no stranger to life outside. Still not a fan of lizards, Steeven went on to receive his bachelor's of science in Entrepreneurship from Hampton University, and his master's in nonprofit management from The New School University. Currently, he lives in Brooklyn, NY with his doberman pinscher Julius, is a member of the Central Bainbridge Community Garden in BedStuy, and is a real estate agent in NYC with Compass, where he brings his experience and skills in the hospitality and nonprofit industries to serve his clients. Steeven is excited to create a space where two of the most important things to him can converge; his love for community, and the outdoors. Outside with Recess Village is his outward expression to help create memorable experiences in a unique way to push the boundaries of possibilities and impart adventure to all who seek a little thrill themselves!
