Steve has four grown children: Brandon, Morgan, Holly and C.J. and four grandchildren, who are his joy: Haille, Carson, Jace, and one on the way! He and his wife Mollie work summers at their third-generation family business in Bridgeport, CA. Winters, they are houseparents at City of Refuge, a ministry of GCC.
