Meet Steve

Steve Hollingsworth's connection to CVTC spans multiple decades and programs, each helping him build new skills and confidence. The Elk Mound Marine Owner's first foray into classes at the College was from 1980 to 1982 for an associate degree in what was called Police Science—now Criminal Justice. Years later, he returned to CVTC for a new career path: Motorcycle, Marine and Outdoor Power Products.
