Steven began learning to play racquetball while on active duty, ironically assigned to a nuclear powered ballistic submarine stationed in Kings Bay, GA back in 2004. He truly found his calling later when he was stationed in San Diego, practicing racquetball at the gym at Balboa Hospital. He saw a Marine with an amputated leg walking up the stairs away from the gym, and the Calling came to him – “Go teach that Marine how to play racquetball….” and the rest is history! He founded Military Racquetball Federation (MRF) on the crazy notion of actually setting up a portable outdoor racquetball court onboard the aircraft carrier (USS BONHOMME RICHARD) stationed in San Diego. He has traveled across the country for the past 12 years teaching wounded active duty service members and disabled veterans the sport of racquetball as a form of rehabilitation. His passion and calling is using adaptive paddle sports (Badminton, Pickleball, and Racquetball) to help veterans and wounded warriors deal with their related PTSD symptoms and other illness as a form of healing.
