A four-year varsity tennis player at Kansas State University, Steve went on to coach the men’s and women’s team for seven years.  As a young entrepreneur, Steve also designed, built and operated an indoor/outdoor racquet club and recreational facility in his late 20s. He remained the highest percentage owner of the club for 34 years and was instrumental in its sale in 2010.

Steve earned his Bachelor of Science degree from K-State. He holds certificates in numerous leadership programs including the Strategic Alliance Program at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.

Steve has three grown children – Carrie, Lance and Jeff – and six grandchildren.
