Steve has a passion for connecting the lost to Christ and for helping the body of Christ do evangelism and discipleship. His life’s goal is that, one day, the throne room of heaven will be filled with people from every tongue, tribe and nation.
Steve never intended to talk to others about Christ, but he wanted to grow and learned how to share his faith at a Cru high school conference. To his amazement, people responded and trusted Christ. He began his staff career in 1976 at Marshall University.
Steve has served in many leadership capacities — as local campus director, area regional director and, from 1991 to 2002, as National Director for the U.S. Campus Ministry. He encouraged staff members to discover innovative ways to connect people to Jesus on campuses and in communities.
From 2002 to 2004 Steve served as Global Vice President of Campus Ministry. He served as U.S. National Director starting in 2004, before becoming Executive Vice President in 2018. He served as President of Campus Crusade for Christ from 2020 to 2024.
Steve and his wife Christy live in Orlando, Florida. They have four married children and 12 grandchildren.
