Jay Elliot

Ano Nuevo Jay Elliot

Jay Elliot, the bestselling author of The Steve Jobs Way and Leading Apple with Steve Job gives readers an insight into his journey from a historic ranch on the California coast to working as a Senior Vice President of Apple working directly with Steve Jobs.

Mr. Elliot grew up at Año Nuevo and was part of the Steele family that had developed the land since 1860 and was one of the most prominent dairy businesses in California. With sound advice and great mentoring from his neighbor, Tad Hoover, brother of President Herbert Hoover, his decision was to go on to college. Breaking from the 200-year Steele family tradition of being in the dairy business was difficult, but even more difficult would be leaving the magic of his "Camelot," Año Nuevo. Mr. Elliot gives the reader great insight into the history of the Steele family, his adventures growing up there, and the beauty of Año Nuevo. A must read for any visitor to Año Nuevo State Park.
