Background

Steve is originally from Massachusetts but now calls Georgia his home. He earned his stripes trad climbing on the sandstone crags around Chattanooga, Tennessee.

A love of the mountains and multi-day challenges lead him to peaks throughout the lower 48 states, Alaska, Mexico, and Peru. Coaching youth sports for his daughters showed him how fulfilling it can be to share your interests with others, which resulted in him becoming a rock climbing instructor. When not climbing, Steve and his wife, Abra, spend time coaching cross country and track and field.
