Phil Coba, UC Merced Alumnus

Steve served as the adviser to our student government (among many other things) for the three years I was involved with the Associated Students. Steve was an instrumental part in keeping the peace and guiding students to becoming better leaders. The leadership and opportunities Steve provided me with over the years were key in my development both in my time as a student and even after I graduated. As someone who at first didn’t quite understand the need for strengths training Steve worked with me one on one and found a way to break through my thick skull and help me understand how strengths training could help me further develop as a leader. Steve’s knowledge in the topic, many years of experience, and his personable nature make him an amazing Coach and if given the opportunity to work with him in any capacity in the future I would take it in a heartbeat.
