Steve graduated with some top honors from The Wharton School of Business in 2010 with dual concentrations in Marketing and Entrepreneurship and then participated in the first ever Justifi trip later that summer. After Thailand, Steve continued volunteering for 9 months with children in developing countries all over Asia using his skills as a children's entertainer (technically, a “balloon artiste”) to break language barriers and share smiles with kids all over the world.

From 2011-2012, Steve helped build Justifi on-the-ground between Jerusalem and Thailand and helped orchestrate the expansion of Justiif from 2012 to 2016 to 5 countries and over 450 participants.
