Speaker, Author, Educator, Culture Catalyst
Steve has two sons, two daughters, two grandkids, a dog, and 1 cat. The cat can be easily delivered to anyone’s house if they would like. Steve is the Co-Director of Wild Heart Teacher and Corporate Culture/Personal Development for JRI Hospitality. In addition to being a middle school principal and superintendent for the past 30 years, Steve is sought after to speak across the nation on issues dealing with educational and corporate leadership, employee revitalization, connection and motivation, relationships/connection, as well as culture and climate.
Steve is the author of the book, Heart 2 Heart Teaching: Building An Enduring Legacy In The Lives of Our Kids. Educators across the nation are using this book as a support to the power of relationship on learning and life.
In his third year as a principal, Steve was named the Kansas Middle School Principal of the Year. He has been the recipient of the $25,000 Milken National Educator Award and was inducted into a few different educator Hall of Fames. Steve most recently served as the superintendent at Woodland Park. Steve has devoted his time now to WILD Heart Teacher which focuses on building up teachers’ hearts, minds, and relationships to continue to make huge differences in the lives of kids and leading the nation-wide corporate culture effort for the JRI Hospitality corporation.
In 2016, Steve founded a new state student organization in Kansas – WILD. These are school clubs designed to get kids outside and engaged in the outdoors for all grade levels. WILD has taken off across Kansas with clubs in elementary, middle, and high schools across the state. It has started in Woodland Park in a major way in Colorado.
In addition to time spent with his family, school, and speaking, Steve has been involved with “Mountain Man” reenactments, competed in the Scottish Heavy Throwing Events, and still plays on a fast pitch baseball team. Steve has also acted in several “Focus On The Family” film bits, commercials, and has even acted in film. Steve serves on many committees locally and nationally.
Oh… and Steve also tied for first place at his 1st grade field day competition in the 30-yard dash. Honest… he has the ribbon and everything.
