Steve joined the CMS family in 1992, and since that time has shown a commitment to the overall health and well being of the student athletes at CMS, as well as a dedication towards the teams and the department as a whole.

A southern California native, Steve spent 6 years in Hawaii, graduating from Kaiser High School. In 1987, he received his bachelor's of arts degree in Athletic Training from Long Beach State, and immediately went to work with elite level gymnasts at SCATS Gymnastics in Huntington Beach. In addition, he worked at Marina High School for four years.

"I have the greatest job in the world. I get to work with hard-working dedicated athletes, coaches and staff, but all the while, it's all centered around games. The kids at CMS keep me young and energized. What can I say, it has to be fun when you work the hours I do".

Steve lives in Claremont with his wife, Athena volleyball coach Dianna Graves and their 3 dogs, Sadie, Lucy and Sara, their cat Tiny, and the fish, and Oh yea, Matty G, and Erin their two children. He is an avid Dodgers fan, and a Champ car racing fanatic. His favorite pastimes are The Long Beach Grand Prix and off-roading in his truck.
