Steven is a California native living in San Diego. After spending much of his youth chasing excitement through action sports, he fell in love with climbing in 2009. Around the same time, he discovered the benefits of yoga as a complement to the physical and mental challenges climbing provided. These practices have influenced his perspective as a yoga teacher and routesetter for many years.
Inspired by the idea of dharma and discovery of one’s unique purpose in life, Steven’s desire to help others realize their potential sent him in many directions. Across the board, he found true health and happiness to be an integration of body, mind, and spirit working together.
After receiving powerful acupuncture treatments to rehab injuries and recover from some challenging experiences, he began his studies of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine in 2022 at Pacific College of Health and Science.
In May, 2026, Steven received his Doctorate of Acupuncture with Specialization in Chinese Herbal Medicine. Since then, he has continued treating a variety of issues with special interests in sports medicine, mental health, and nervous system regulation.
