Moving to Iowa in 2000 he wrote several large scale works in the mental health field.

In 2015, A Guide to the Psalms of David was released, featuring the first index categorizing each of the 150 psalms, and a heartfelt English translation. He says the best compliment he ever received was when a clinical psychologist told him, “Your rendition brought tears to my eyes. For the first time, I could feel David’s heart breaking.” In 2016, God is Good was published, and God and Man: Love on the Rocks was released in April, 2018.

Both have passed away, (mom at 97, dad at 106) but not until after they celebrated their 77th wedding anniversary! According to his wife, “Steve is a kind and caring person. He is a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He has a strong sense of honesty. He will not tell you what you want to hear, but will tell you what is in his heart. His soul abhors deceit, so he often gets depressed observing the lack of integrity in our culture.” Steven has written in over a twenty genres including short stories, novels, poetry, plays, essays, business articles, user guides, legal briefs, song lyrics, exposés, pastiches. business plans, and song lyrics. Steven writes to challenge and inspire. he states,"Whatever your faith, culture or ethnicity, try to become a little more compassionate, look for opportunities to be kind, have integrity—don’t use the excuse “everyone does it”—and consider that God knows everything you do and everything you think. Know all you do will come back to you. When you go out of your way for another, God will go out of his way for you!"
