Born and raised in Meadville, PA, Pastor Steve attended Allegheny College where he studied philosophy and political philosophy.  Upon graduation in 1994, he worked on his Masters Degree in Elementary Education at Edinboro University.  In 1996 he made his way to Rochester, NY when he began serving as the youth pastor at Brighton Presbyterian Church.  From there he continued his studies at Elim Bible Institute (1999-2000), eventually arriving at Princeton Theological Seminary (2001-2004).  Ordained as a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 2004, he served the First Presbyterian Church of Arkport, NY for ten years.  In 2014, he and his family answered God’s call and moved to Louisville, KY to serve the wonderful Trinity Presbyterian Church family.

Pastor Steve’s greatest gift from God is his wife, Diane.  Since their wedding, in June of 1998, God has blessed them with two amazing children in Patrick and Maggie.  During his down time he enjoys running, hiking, reading, and sports (especially Pittsburgh Steelers football and Chicago Cubs baseball).

Jesus Christ, as the overarching passion of Pastor Steve’s life, fuels his daily walk, grows his marriage and family, and shapes his ministry to which God has called him.  In one statement, the most important thing he wants people to know about him is this: Jesus Christ is his all! We are so blessed to have Pastor Steve and his enthusiasm, leadership, and love of Christ!
