Steve is the site director for Immigrant Connection – Dayton.  After retiring from a career in business and IT, he asked his pastor how he could make a difference for the Kingdom.  The timing was all God’s, as several organizations had recently identified a need for immigration legal services in Dayton.  They came together and asked Steve to lead the team to launch this high-quality, low-cost service for all immigrant families.
