Steve has been in the insurance and estate planning profession since 1978. In the early 80s, he began working with the special needs community and became an enthusiastic disability advocate. He helped build the national organization Estate Planning for Persons with Disabilities and was a founding member of the National Institute for Life Planning. In addition, he helped develop the nationally recognized "Chartered Lifetime Assistance Planner" (ChLAP) accreditation program under the supervision of Sonoma State University in California. He was the second recipient of the designation. His initial efforts, in conjunction with several like-minded planners, laid the foundation for many of the current techniques used in the field of special needs planning today. Although his primary passion is working with uniquely challenged individuals, and their caregivers, he also advises a wide range of groups to pass on the knowledge and experience accumulated through thousands of interactions with the extraordinary people he has had the privilege to know and serve. He is a consultant to private special needs residential communities nationally. His primary service is in the admissions process as a third-party evaluator of the prospective applicant's ability to sustain the long-term costs associated with a private placement. The method also provides the family with an extensive qualitative analysis of their existing estate and financial plan. Using an economic modeling system developed for this task in 1986, he can illustrate an accurate present value for their unique situation and benchmark it to the sponsor's available assets and income to ensure a predictable and stable outcome. With his knowledge of the diverse Social Security benefits accessible to both the disabled individual and their sponsors, and with the use of an additional trademarked modeling program, he can help maximize benefits over the lives of the entire family.
