 Meet Coach Southpaw Steve, a Marine Corps veteran who dove into boxing in 2016 shortly after leaving the military. Throughout his life, he has demonstrated a strong sense of compassion and a genuine desire to make a positive impact on the lives around him- whether it's helping a fellow Marine or guiding and helping boxers through their training.

He first became a fan of the sport as a kid, as he grew older he found himself drawn deeper into the sport especially when it came to watching the top fighters from all over the world. He learned the ropes in gyms across New York City and Long Island, with lots of experience mixing it up with amateur fighters as well as professional fighters.

Coach Southpaw Steve's experience comes from countless hours of grinding it out in training and soaking up every bit of boxing knowledge he can find. He’s not just about the right moves and techniques, he’s learned the hard way of what to do and what not to do. Whether it's figuring out the perfect strategy to counter a tricky southpaw or staying one step ahead of your opponent in the ring, he puts the time and effort to know the sport inside and out. Not only is he a licensed USA boxing coach but he is still a student of the game constantly seeking to deepen his understanding and expertise in boxing. You will feel super comfortable training under a coach that not only trusts his knowledge but is constantly learning and adapting.
