Bio coming soon.

Steve is the acting director of photogenX Publish and serves as a member on the photogenX Board. In 2008 he married his wife Diane, joined a photogenX outreach team, and together they subsequently spent the first three months of their marriage in war-torn Afghanistan building bridges of reconciliation through creative expression.

Steve grew up as a missionary kid in 1980's West Germany. As a child he can remember the turbulence of the Berlin Wall falling which would forever shape his youth. In the late 1990's he moved with his family to Western Michigan and began to work along side a slew of youth activist communities as well as art/music-based movements.

After graduating from High School Steve spent five years playing music, producing art, and studied as much grass-roots-progressive-Christian-theology he could get his hands on while traveling extensively. He served two years on the Artist Council of the Save Darfur Coalition, which expanded his desire to let art, music, and photography become real catalysts for social change in a broken world. Steve now spends his time with photogenX using creative media to provoke communities to participate in works of justice, traveling the world, reading stacks of books, loving Jesus, and sharing conversation about reconciliation and non-violence.

Steve has visited over 20 countries and currently resides with his wife Diane in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.

Sharee is giving leadership to the 2011 PhotogenX Discipleship Training School. She is passionate about people believing truth about God and themselves, restoration of the broken and being a voice for women and children who have experienced injustice. She has a vision to open a restoration home for women in the next few years in Kona, Hawaii.

She has been in YWAM for over 8 years with her husband Christian working with Discipleship Training Schools, Bible Core Courses, Personnel/ Pastoral care for YWAM staff and more. They have ministered to orphans, street kids and prostitutes and taught the Bible in several countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa.

Sharee grew up in Georgia and has always been concerned about the needs of hurting people. Experiencing restoration in her own life as a young adult really shaped much of her vision to see others restored. She has a heart of a counselor, which really draws people to her and often finds that new people feel safe to pour out their hearts upon meeting her.

Sharee, Christian and their daughter Maiya joined the photogenX community the beginning of 2010 and presently reside in Kailua-Kona, HI.
