He has traveled to Sudan twice since 2007 leading

He has a passion for work in underdeveloped countries, especially with the problem of inadequate and unsafe water supplies. Steve has also worked extensively in the area of refugee housing construction. Nuba Water Project uses a technique known as roofs first construction  to deploy simple, inexpensive and durable housing for people displaced by civil war now returning to the Nuba Mountains after years spent in refugee camps. His friendship with Sudanese families in Denver spurred him to found the Nuba Water Project. In November 2007, Steve retired from a 30 year career in the insurance business to devote full time to Nuba Water Project.
