Autor/-in: Stefan Pastor

Stefan Pastor was born on December 18, 1962, in Northern Bavaria, Germany. As far back as his early childhood he loved nature and dreamed of adventures and of the great outdoors. At the age of 19 he fulfilled his heart's desire and traveled to North America by himself, where he first roamed Western Canada for three months. A Canadian he met gave him the nickname Steve, which he has been using from then on whenever touring the country. He made a living doing forestry work. Studying natural sciences in second chance education and getting a master's degree he made another dream come true and has been working as a freelance biologist ever since. While on a mountain bike ride in the wooded uplands around his home town he had the idea for a comic book - the adventures of Steve and his talking mountain bike Wheelie.
