His academic trail led him to USC for a Bachelor\u2019s degree, the University of Massachusetts for the MD degree, and then Stanford University for his specialty training in ob-gyn. He has practiced ob-gyn since 1985 in a variety of settings, including Kaiser (3 yrs), private practice (20 yrs), and as a hospital specialist (10 years). He has since retired.<\/p>\n<p>Steve married his wife, Wanda, during college in 1971 and together they have raised three beautiful Godly daughters \u2013 Sarah, Missy, and Julie. After many wonderful homeschooling years they worked with a few other families to start a small private school that, by God\u2019s grace, has grown into a well-respected, vibrant Christian secondary school, The King\u2019s Academy. In 1999, their daughter Missy was tragically killed in a car accident while attending Biola University as an oboe major. This devastating event has brought them closer to God and to each other even while leaving a tremendous hole in their hearts as they miss their dear daughter. Sarah and Julie are married; between them there are ten grandchildren.<\/p>\n<p>Steve and Wanda accepted Christ in 1978 through the trials and travails of a marital separation. Overcoming a prideful spirit and acknowledging the need for a Savior, Steve prayed to receive Christ in May 1981 with Wanda by his side, and felt an immediate peace that he had never felt before. He has not yet stopped learning who this Jesus is.<\/p>\n<p>Steve has served as Board member and President for the Christian Medical and Dental Association Northern California Council. He\u2019s also served on the Board at The King\u2019s Academy and the local Community Pregnancy Center. He\u2019s followed God\u2019s leading on various mission trips to Mexico, Romania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Liberia, Ecuador, and Peru, and has led and shepherded medical teams in Ethiopia, Liberia and Peru. Steve assumed the role of Medical Ambassadors\u2019 Board Chair in 2017.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
