About Steve: A native of England, Steve has spent most of the 2000's in the US as a collegiate swimmer and swim coach. He spent 4 years as a student-athlete at North Carolina State, and coached 2 years there also. He then moved into coaching full time and spent almost a decade as the Associate Head Coach with the Louisiana State University Swim Team. During his swim coaching career he guided athletes to the heights of NCAA and SEC Swimming, and was able to guide LSU's first ever American swimmer to an Olympic team in Brooks Curry who went on to win an Olympic Gold Medal.  

In October of 2021, Steve turned his passion for optimizing individual performance into founding his company, Career Competitor LLC. where he serves as a Performance Coach & Culture Consultant. The company was built off a four-year old podcast also titled Career Competitor where former athletes discuss how they optimize performance in a specific field by utilizing competitive and athlete-minded characteristics.   

With a Bachelors of Arts in Communications, a Master's of Science in Management from NC State, Steve brings both his educational background and years of elite coaching into his work today. Driven by the intention to best serve the unique needs of each client, Steve's mission is to facilitate the personal growth of those he works with to help reveal and commit to their optimal self.
