Steve Vesce

Steve Vesce is the award winning author of One Ordinary Man - A novel based on the true story of Harry Hopkins.  A successful entrepreneur with a lifelong passion for Modern History, Steve has served as CEO of three pioneering companies, and has given more than a dozen talks to audiences on the people, events, and issues that impacted America leading up to and including World War II. 

One Ordinary Man is Steve's first novel and the result of his research into Harry Hopkins while preparing to give a talk about Hopkins to a Florida audience.    Though he had read about FDR’s presidency and Harry Hopkins many times over the years, Steve's  research for that presentation gave him a much deeper appreciation of this remarkable American hero and his inspiring life story.

Indeed Hopkins’s story was the hero’s journey.  He was one ordinary man with extraordinary talent and grit, who journeyed from obscurity to a place behind the wizard’s curtain to pull the levers that helped America overcome the Great Depression, defeat fascism, and win World War II.   One ordinary man.  One extraordinary destiny.
