A Howard County resident for more than 35 years, Steve is a graduate of River Hill High School, where he played four years of varsity lacrosse and served as a senior-year midfield captain in 2001.

A multi-sport athlete, Steve began coaching as a teaching player with the University of Maryland Rugby Football Club, where he helped more than fifty recruits learn the game and develop foundational skills. Since his playing days, he has continued to contribute to coaching a variety of youth sports teams around Howard County for his own children.
Steve has formerly served in local leadership roles as a board member of the University of Maryland Alumni Board for Howard County and as trustee for his church. He and his wife, Liz, live in Clarksville with their four lovely children. Outside of lacrosse, Steve is a partner in the Washington, DC office of Barnes & Thornburg LLP, where his practice focuses on intellectual property law and product development.
