More about Steve:
Steve has a lifelong interest in Games & Gaming, since playing his first games in 1979 and owning his first computer in 1982, he has spent many hours competing against both human and artificial intelligence in a quest for enlightenment, and failing that fun. He has provided Expert Witness testimony at the Royal Courts of Justice on Gaming.

Upon reaching 30 and realising that the football world was never going to recognise the magnitude of his talent, Steve turned to an earlier love of the Martial Arts & Combat Sports, where his record reads 31 fights, 23 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses., with a couple of titles along the way. The intensity of sports fighting, the challenges, the highs and lows of winning and losing, and the moments of life changing clarity have added further fuel to the fire of Steve's professional speaking business.

Steve's interests and experiences have provided real life insight applicable to business; Games are won partially by ability and advantage, but also cunning. Combat Sports are won partly by determination combined with attrition, and partly by out thinking the opponent, and laying traps for them to fall into.
