Hello everyone, I’m Steve. I’ve spent the last quarter-century in the vibrant heart of America. Now, I am back in the cherished embrace of the UK, my homeland. There’s no soul I’d rather navigate this adventure with than my soulmate, Kate, an extraordinary woman. Together, we’ve built an exuberant life. I have three beloved daughters, two wonderful stepdaughters, and an ever-growing sea of grandchildren—nine lights brightening our world!

My American odyssey began amidst the halls of academia, where I delved into research and nurtured minds as a teacher. Yet, the calling of social work and coaching drew me into its fold, where I found profound purpose and fulfillment. As I embrace the golden hues of early retirement—a decision shaped by unforeseen health challenges—I reflect on a life rich with unforgettable experiences.

My academic pursuits bore fruit in the UK, where I earned a Double Honours Degree, followed by a transformative MA in the soaring mountains of Utah. Though a later addition to my life’s routine, the gym has become a sanctuary where I fiercely defy the hands of time. Yes, my journey has been marked by trials: an indomitable right foot and leg that have been my lifelong adversaries, a fight with heart complications, a recent battle with prostate cancer, and a tough comeback after a stroke. But these battles have only fueled my resolve. I am living proof that the human spirit, armed with determination and zest, can overcome any obstacle. If I can surge forward with unwavering passion, then believe me, so can you!
