What does the nominee do for work?:
Steve is an Area Manager for several Papa Gino's restaurants, including the one in Dedham!

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?:
Papa Gino’s has been donating pizzas to medical facilities through their Pizza My Heart program to help feed nurses and other healthcare staff during these trying times. Steve has been helping to deliver these pizza donations and will continue to do so for the next several weeks! This does not surprise me at all, as from my past experience working with Steve, I know that not only does he appreciate the chance to give back to his community, but he also does so with a smile on his face!

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
One thing that always stood out to me when I was working with Steve is that he is very dedicated to his community. He wants to see people healthy and well and give them something to smile about. This was always obvious through the amazing work he put into his job and how he would treat his guests, restaurant teams and colleagues every day!
