Steve and his wife Lois live in La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico. They are the founders and directors of RECONCILIAMAR, a Mexican NGO that "uses adventures at sea to transform lives." The goal is to increase people's love for the ocean thus giving them a personal reason to want to care for and protect it. Steve and Lois also use adventures at sea, such as scuba diving and sea kayaking, to create large blocks of uninterrupted time in which to talk about King Jesus.
