Steve grew up (although those who really know him might argue that) in Abbotsford, BC. He graduated from Columbia Bible College with a bachelor's degree in Youth Ministries.

Steve has served, in ministry, in camp work for many years. This is where he started to lead worship regularly, which opened the door for many opportunities to lead worship in a church setting. It was in leading worship with a group at a local church in Abbotsford, that Steve met his wife Carla.

Steve has felt a strong call to serve the local church with a deep desire to see God's family grow closer to Him and call others to be His disciples.

Steve and Carla live in Abbotsford with their son, Levi, a dog named Tia and a cat named Loui, however after an unfortunate incident involving Loui and an industrial sized bag of M&M's, Steve has been actively trying to excommunicate Loui from the household......to no avail.
