Steve Dils’ final stop in a 10-season career as a National Football League quarterback was with the Atlanta Falcons, where the city’s friendly people and warm climate captivated him, sparking his choice to stay and start a business career when his playing days ended. Dils, who earned a degree in economics, built a successful career as a commercial real estate executive in Atlanta, building upon the off-season work in that sector he had done during his NFL career. The decision to live and work in Atlanta also eventually led Dils to a relationship with Kennesaw State University to serve as a member of the KSU Foundation’s Board of Trustees.
