A native New Yorker and the embodiment of pushing beyond perceived limits, Steve completes, explores, and trains with the drive to learn more about what he can push his body to do. As an overweight, out-of-shape child and teenager with low self-esteem, he started running over twenty years ago and has used it to not only get in shape, but to make himself proud and grateful for everything his body (and mind) can accomplish. He has completed races ranging in distances from 5k to marathon and Ultramarathon. Running is a lifelong passion for Steve, and he enjoys helping others develop a rewarding relationship with the sport.
