More recently, Steve won a "Thank You" award from the SBA. This was for his hard work on the Northridge earthquake disaster relief. Out of more than 4800 SBA employees who worked on this effort, Steve was one of only 7 or 8 employees who were presented this award. The man presenting the award is Phillip Lader (the Administrator himself!) of the US Small Business Adminstration:

Steve is also heavily involved in judo. He's the chief instructor of the Prince George's County Police Judo Club. He also teaches Defensive Tactics at the Academy. Here he is receiving the Chief's Award, the highest award the Prince George's County Police gives to a civilian. (The handsome fellow presenting the award is Chief Mitchell.)
