Steven was nominated by his wife, Tanya:
My husband Steven is one of the most caring, thoughtful, funny, and loving person that I know. He is a great leader, that people both in the navy and outside of the navy look up to. He is a great husband and father. He has sacrificed so much for us, and never complained. He is someone that will give you the shirt off his back, with nothing in return. I am beyond proud and lucky to have seen him accomplish so many great things.
