With heavy hearts, we have lost Steve.  Steve has been a coach, mentor, innovator, crusader, and most importantly a friend.  His impact on Desert Sky Archers, Arizona Archery and USA Archery has been amazing. 

​

Steve fought for the youth archer.  Demanding quality equipment for new and our youngest athletes.  Many an Arizona youth archer started their archery career with one of Steve's frankenbows.  Most famous is Cookie Monster.

​

Steve coached many top youth archers here in Arizona and via virtual coaching.  Innovating the use of cameras, Skype and other virtual techniques to keep in touch with his archers while he fought with his health.

​

Steve also was part of the push to bring live electronic scoring even down to the local level tournaments.  He worked with Ianseo, BetweenEnds and Rcherz.  

​

Steve's biggest impact was his friendship.  He was always ready to sit and talk to a fellow archer.  He would jump in and help any archer in need, regardless of club affiliation.

​

Steve, we will miss you.
