Steve Lobrovich is an author who recently retired after a 42-year career as a sales professional and business owner in Silicon Valley. He was born and raised in Campbell, California. He and his wife Kathy have been married since 1978 and have remained in the Bay Area where they raised their family in Fremont, California, and still live there as of 2024. As someone passionate about helping others in his community, he has embraced various volunteer efforts, including visiting pediatric and adult hospice patients, fundraising to support our veterans, and coaching youth sports. Steve's recent journey in battling and beating cancer - for the third time! - inspired him to write a book for his grandson that teaches him how to blend faith into everyday life. His strategy was to engage him without resorting to preaching or scare tactics in order to keep him interested. He then realized that using the same method would be beneficial for anyone aged fifteen and older who seeks guidance through their faith in God. This led to the creation of the Teaching Faith Without PREACHING Faith book. This is a quick-read, contains two thought-provoking questions at the end of each chapter, is easy to understand, honest, not preachy, and beneficial for everyone. Steve is currently working on another book offering a concise and relatable approach for people battling addictive behaviors. He is excited to expand the original approach to help those dealing with specific challenges.
