The Scheff, Internet Mogul

While many former Sonics are busy chasing underage tail, chasing the dream in Italy, or chasing league titles at Estrella Foothills HS, Steve Scheffler has been building an internet empire.

I stumbled across his LinkedIn Profile today and, wow, what a moment. Simply put, KS Specialties is reshaping the world of Internet grocery retailing as we know it. And guess what former Sonic reserve has his hand on the tiller of this burgeoning online purveyor of perishable foodstuffs? The Scheff.

The founder of K.S. Specialties, Steve pioneered the use of independent Food Brokers for Amazon.com®'s new Grocery Division.  Under his leadership, K.S. Specialties has experienced triple digit growth in each of the first 5 years it has been business.
Working with Amazon, Steve successfully developed unique product management tools to track key business elements and created logistic processes that have helped manufacturers of over 700 products achieve incremental growth in sales and profits.
Steve holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Management from Purdue University, and played professionally for 7 seasons in the National Basketball Association.
