Welcome to another episode of PinesCast, the official podcast of the Ocean Pines Association. In today's episode, we're thrilled to have Beverly and Marvin Steen.

Marvin delves into his early days with selling homes, his transition to becoming a builder, and the unique experience of living in the community he helped shape.

You'll hear the Steens reflect on their family's activities, from their children's educational paths to their son's ventures in fishing and real estate.
