Steve Fanelli wants to take that passion, energy, and drive to Congress in the service of the families, seniors, and young adults of Chester and Berks counties. Steve built his life in the 6th Congressional District and is proud to call our community home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Steve\u2019s parents, Thomas and JoAnn Fanelli, met in high school. Both were born in Philadelphia and raised by first-generation Italian-American parents.\u00a0 After serving in the Army, Thomas worked as a painter and paper hanger until he and his brother John started a successful home building company. With JoAnn managing the office, the family business expanded to include the growing suburbs of Chester, Montgomery, Delaware, and Bucks counties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Steve\u2019s values come from his parents. He believes in family, working hard and giving back to his community. He believes in setting an example for the next generation, so they develop an appreciation for hard work as the previous generations did.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After graduating from Villanova University with an accounting degree, Steve worked in sales.\u00a0 His goal was to chart his own course, and to do it successfully right here in Chester County.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Entrepreneur<br \/><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In 1987, Steve moved to Willistown Township. He lived on a family farm and launched a small outdoor fencing company called Mount Eden Fence. In the first few years the company grew exponentially, changing its name along the way, but never its mission: to work diligently and with integrity, to always give back to the community and to employ the finest talent living right here in Chester and Berks Counties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Steve believes one of his greatest achievements was to grow his company\u2019s workforce from a close-knit group of three employees in the early days to a team of more than 30 professionals, serving customers throughout the eastern United States from Long Island to North Carolina.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">His business flourished on farms, schools, little league baseball fields and at the family homes in our community.
