"Never boring" is how Steve describes the abundant life in Jesus. Steve grew up in Bucks County, PA but it was in San Diego, CA that Steve became aware of his need for a Savior. It was 1983 when Steve and Duff Bottorff were shipmates aboard the attack submarine USS Haddock. Duff consistently and persistently invited Steve to church services and to Bible study. Tired of saying, "No," Steve agreed to attend a Friday night Bible study, and that is where Steve recognized his need for a Savior and gave his life to Jesus Christ.

In 1984 Steve married Kristen, who Steve says is perfectly suited to the challenge of being his wife and the mother of their two children, Sheldon and Lyssi. Life was good. In 1989 Steve and Kristen relocated from Sacramento, California to southern New Jersey. It was after moving East that Steve met Bob Guaglione. Both men had much in common to spur on their friendship -- both were married, had children of similar ages, loved sports, and loved ministering for Jesus. Steve has been a co-laborer with Bob and has helped to fulfill his vision to bring Calvary Chapel to Delaware County since its birth in 1993.

Steve serves "The God Who is too big to narrow down. If we had a library of songs as big as the world, we would only begin to scratch the surface of Who He is."
