A Life Dedicated to Family, Business and Community
Steve Tarvin was born, raised and currently resides in Chickamauga, Georgia. He attended Gordon Lee High School, and later began working at Crystal Springs Print Works, a textile mill in Chickamauga, on January 13th, 1970. Steve worked his way up through the company, and now serves as the President and CEO of the 750,000 square foot mill that specializes in the commission bleaching, dying, printing, and finishing of textiles. Steve is particularly passionate about their work on Defender M™ protective military apparel. Crystal Springs has employed hundreds of people from north Georgia for over 25 years.
Steve has offered himself to his community as the President of the local Habitat for Humanity and as President of the local High School booster club. During the summer of 2009, Steve raised money for and oversaw the construction of two new ball fields in his community. Steve is a past member of the Board of Directors of Shorter College, and also a past Board member of the American Gelbvieh Cattle Association. After spending one term on Chickamauga City School Board, Steve was asked by his community to serve on the Chickamauga City Council, where he currently serves. Steve is also a member of Oakwood Baptist Church.
Steve’s values come from over 40 years of life experience as a husband, father, business laborer and business owner. Steve married the former Jennifer Lance in the winter of 1970, and forty years later, they are the proud parents of two children and four grandchildren. Steve’s life is defined by family, hard work, and providing both jobs for the people of north Georgia and protection for our troops in combat. Steve will bring a fresh perspective to Washington with decades of common sense business experience and the family values that make north Georgia a wonderful place to live.
