At age 8, he and his brother were adopted by an incredible couple which possessed traits of joy, humility, sacrifice and unconditional love. Steven defied the odds and is back stronger than ever to be proof that experiences in life are nothing more than another day of training in becoming a champion for others. He is passionate to set the pace for the coming generations as an example of what relentless strength and faith can accomplish. **Steven is the founder of “[Fostering Success](http://www.fosteringsuccess.co/)” an organization that pairs Professional Athletes with Foster Kids to create awareness, offer mentorship and support ongoing opportunities for fostered and adopted children nationwide.** Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links.
