Story

Jeff Steinberg is a MASTERPIECE IN PROGRESS! Yet to see him, he looks like anything BUT a masterpiece. He was born August 18, 1951 with what most folks would call "handicaps." He had no arms, badly deformed legs and a doctor's prediction that he would not survive, He grew up mostly in hospitals and homes for the handicapped, including Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children in Philadelphia, PA, where he underwent orthopedic surgery, learned to walk with a brace and was fitted with my first prosthetic arm. At age nine, he was placed into The Good Shepherd Home for the Physically Handicapped in Allentown, PA until he was 19. "I'm a Masterpiece In Progress - And you need to know it! My disabilities are my assets, NOT liabilities." Jeff is a speaker / singer, humorist (comedian) and author with a very special message; A real handicap is "…anything that keeps me from being or becoming all that I was created to be!" It is a most unique message for an entertainer, that each person in the audience is a "Masterpiece In Progress!"
