Originally from Michigan, Steve grew up as a missionary kid in Nigeria. He has been in full-time church ministry for almost twenty years, serving in three different churches before coming to Mountain Life. Steve’s heart is for the church and its leaders to be all that Christ has called them to be. As Executive Pastor, he is responsible for the operational aspects of Mountain Life, including pastoral and support staff, ministry programming, office management, finance and facility. Steve loves reading (almost anything), traveling (almost anywhere), and sharing ministry with his wife Leanne. They have a son Jared (in elementary school) and a daughter Nicole (in middle school).
