Steve Schaumburg was born in Oklahoma, went to high school at both Buhler and McPherson, traveled West for community college in Colby, and then graduated college at Wichita State. After college, his career included 8 years working in advertising agencies and more than 30 years in marketing and communications, sales, and fundraising roles within the financial services, higher education, and healthcare industries. His career took him to Oklahoma City, Sacramento, Dallas, Tulsa, and then Fort Lauderdale before making the decision to “boomerang” back to Wichita about 4 years ago to be near aging parents. Upon his return to Wichita, Steve joined The Nature Conservancy where he works with individuals, foundations, and corporations that share The Conservancy’s commitment to “protect the lands and waters on which all life depends.”
