After a break from the sport, Steve became the proud coach of the Poway High School Dive Team when his son started swimming. Steve also co-coaches the the local club diving team San Diego Diversity Diving. Steve encourages a fun yet safe diving environment. He is a very positive and supportive coach that enjoys seeing athletes learn from their experiences on the boards to help them succeed in all facets of life.
