Heroes for 30 Years It was 1985 when both Steve Schneidermeyer and Mike Popp began their careers at Horizons. What’s their secret? “Relationships are key,” says Supported Employment & Options manager Mike, mentor and friend to hundreds of coaches and individuals in Supported Living and Supported Employment & Options over the years. Educational Support Services director Steve recalls an early insight: “I understood this was a mission,

Mike Popp not just a job.”

Thank you, Mike and Steve, for

30 years of being heroes every day! Steve Schneidermeyer
