Steve originated from Brighton, and joined the Royal Navy as a Weapons Engineer in 1979, rising to the giddy heights of Warrant Officer 1. He served on many ships and in various shore establishments throughout his 28 year career. Highlights included many ‘thrilling’ cold war patrols in the Iceland /Faeroes gap, involvement in numerous humanitarian relief operations (including the Boxing day Tsunami) and patrol duties during the Balkan conflict and Iran / Iraq war. His final sea going job was as the Executive Warrant Officer on HMS Chatham where he was involved in Disaster Relief Ops after the Boxing Day tsunami. Early on in his career Steve became a Christian, and through many ups and downs tried to live out his witness in the rather challenging environment of a messdeck on board a warship!

Steve left the RN in May 2007 to become the Executive Secretary of the Naval Christian Fellowship, an independent charity based in Portsmouth, which, worked alongside Naval Chaplaincy service, supporting and encouraging Christians in their life and witness in the RN, Royal Marines and Royal Fleet Auxiliary. Steve married Helen (a Naval nurse) in 1987 and has two sons: Ben is in Derby and works for Derby Diocese and Sam is in the Royal Marines Band Service based in Portsmouth. He also has 4 grandchildren! Steve’s hobbies include music (vinyl ..), playing guitar and running (marathons!). He also drives a 39-year-old VW Van and Ford Capri of the same vintage! Steve prides himself on his ‘dits’ which is Naval terminology for stories, and normally requires a translator to interpret all the RN slang which peppers every sentence.

He and Helen moved to Chesterfield in 2013 to work for Christian Vision for Men, he also works for Edge Ministries. He has a real passion to see men live out their faith 24 hours a day, being real and honest about the challenges that come their way, whilst reaching out to others with the amazing truth about Jesus!
