Steve is a 1974 graduate of Christ the King School and was an active parent, along with his wife Annamarie, in our school community from 1995 to 2014.  Steve’s four children Adam, Elaine, Claire and Ann all graduated from Christ the King School and then from Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School.  During the years his children were in Catholic school Steve served on both the Christ the King and the Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School Advisory Boards, chairing both councils during his tenures. He also was chairman of the Bishop McGuinness Catholic School building committee from 2004-2010. It is evident from his sharing of time, talents and treasure with those school communities that a faith-based education was a high priority in Steve’s life. 

Steve has been very involved in parish life at Christ the King Church.  He served the Parish Advisory Council for many years, chairing it from 2008-2010. Steve also served on the CK Stewardship committee; and he and Annamarie were instrumental in developing our Feed the Hungry ministry. Steve’s volunteerism expands further than just the church and school community. He has served in many different capacities at the Center of Family Love, including holding the office of President of the Board of Trustees.  He also has served as the President of the Oklahoma Youth Symphony after being a board member there for a number of years. Steve is one busy man and we are fortunate to have him in our community!

In addition to the titles of husband to Annamarie and father to his four children, he serves as Principal at Cooper Project Advisors. His role as an owner’s representative in construction projects allows him to use his talents along with his Catholic faith for clients in the Oklahoma City area as well as throughout our great state. He continues to make a difference in communities near and far.

Steve will be honored at our 10am Mass on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2020. A reception will follow, and we encourage everyone to attend. This event will kick off our celebration of Catholic Schools’ Week.
