One of Coach Steve’s main mantra is Championship Culture. “Championship Culture”
is not just about winning championships. It is about understanding how “You cannot always control the OUTCOME, but you can always control your OUTPUT (aka effort).” This mantra applies on the court, in the classroom, and in your everyday life.

Coach Steve’s objectives this season are to get his team to “get better each week” and prepare them with the right skillsets, both mentally and physically, for the rigors of playing varsity basketball in the near future.

Off the court, Coach Steve has spent the last 20 years at Charles Schwab Investment Mgmt., Inc. (CSIM) as a Senior Portfolio Manager, where he manages mutual funds
and ETFs focused on corporate bonds. He loves spending time with his family and is very thankful to his wife, Jackie, and sons, Xander and Reese, for allowing him to pursue his passion as a basketball coach.
