Pastor Steve is a casual, "jeans & t-shirts," guy who doesn't take himself too seriously, but is very serious about Jesus and His Word. He is an absolute, true-blue University of Michigan fan, as well as being nuts for the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings. He likes to fish and has been known to play his guitar much louder than a man his age is supposed to. He writes, "Jesus Christ is the source of my life; Melanie is the love of my life; Mallory, Caleb and Isaac are the joy of my life; and helping anyone who wants to get to know Jesus better is the passion of my life."
