Being extraordinarily humble and egoless, Steve views the world as a glass half full, seeing the positive power of choice in every situation.
When Steve isn't executing quadruple twisting triple flips on the ski slopes, you can often find this endorphin junky road cycling the beautiful orchard terrain of the Okanagan, riding his soft tail mountain bike down Excedrin descents, swinging his clubs on the golf course, and ending his action packed day with a Power Yoga class. Yoga is where he is able to stretch out his hard worked muscles and prepare for another day of rigorous training!
