In Memory of Steve Von Behren

Steve was a long time member of the Marvin Keller Family. He joined the team in 2013 and was eager to share his skills and knowledge to help develop incoming Drivers. Steve was an instrumental part of the Marvin Keller training program until he retired in April of 2020. Not only was Steve a professional Driver, but he was also a talented musician. Steve was happy to join in with a few other members of the MK Family to provide live music entertainment at our 2019 Driver Appreciation Celebration.

We were devastated to learn that Steve passed away this week after his valiant fight with cancer. We are grateful for the time we had with Steve and that his talents will continue on at Marvin Keller through the students he inspired and developed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

5 Things More Likely to Happen Than Winning the $750 Million Mega Millions Jackpot

1. Being Killed by Hornets, Wasps or Bees: 

As painful as a bee or wasp sting is, chances are it won’t kill you. The National Safety Council estimated the odds of dying by a hornet, wasp or bee sting are 1 in 54,093.

2. Becoming President of the United States:

If you had your hopes set on the Oval Office, the chances of becoming president could be about 1 in 32.6 million, according to The Motley Fool. Those odds increase drastically when you’re between the ages of 40 and 72, have a law degree, are a military veteran, or a man of faith above six feet tall. 

3. Becoming a Movie Star:

You can’t have it all right? Apparently, fame and fortune don’t go hand-in-hand. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean hourly pay for actors was $32.89 per hour as of May 2017. Although few acting jobs will put you on the A-list, landing a role for a big-screen film is far easier than winning the lottery. You’re better off buying a ticket to Los Angeles than spending the national average of just over $200 on lottery tickets a year. 

4. Going to the Emergency Room With a Pogo Stick-Related Injury

To be fair, pogo sticks are hard to use. Just be aware that if you have the misfortune of spending an afternoon on one, your chances of bouncing your way into the ER are about 1 in 115,300, according to Deseret News. 

5. Having Conjoined Twins

Your odds of birthing conjoined twins are about 1 in 200,000, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Your odds of giving birth to normal identical twins? About 1 in 250.
