Steve was born in Walker, MN, and spent his younger years hunting, fishing, and riding his horse in the woods. He moved to Alaska and lived in Juneau and Fairbanks for 22 yrs. He worked on the Denali Hwy as it was being built, built boats, and fished for salmon, cod, and halibut. He moved to Chino Valley, AZ, where he and I met and married in 2001. We grew in our faith in Jesus Christ, which sustained us for 25 yrs until his death.
