Our Director of Development, Steve Cook, grew up on the mission field in Argentina where his parents served as missionaries. Due to political unrest, Steve attended high school at TAMBO (now Monte Blanco) in Bolivia. After attending college in California and Colorado, Steve went on to a 40-year career in the Hospitality Industry, working with some of the top industry leaders in management and real estate development. In 2012 , Steve founded a consulting firm and headed up that entity until he sold his interests. 

Steve has been married to his best friend, Sue, for 43 years, and they live in Tampa, Florida. They have two grown sons and one grandson. They are members at the Church of Odessa in Odessa, Florida.
