How my journey began
Steve is husband to an incredible wife, Katie, and father of two beautiful daughters. He attended George Mason University and graduated from Columbia Southern University. Steve began his career as a Police Officer in Northern VA, later beginning his second act at the State Department and shortly thereafter, the US Intelligence Community, where he served in the Directorate of Support as an executive manager. During Steve’s twenty year career in the federal government, he deployed around the world in some of the harshest locations, allowing trauma to build and slowly pile up. During Steve’s final deployment to the Middle East, he experienced a life changing attack. As a result, Steve experienced and lives with PTSD, depression and anxiety.
