He earned a B.S. in Economics from West Chester University in 1982. Upon graduation he joined the U.S. Navy and was commissioned and trained as a pilot in 1983-84. He married his college sweetheart Megan in July of 1984 and they began a life together that to date has included eight children and 15 moves. Steve was deployed three times in four years flying the P3 Orion. Steve left active duty in 1991 and was hired by American Airlines the same year. He currently flies the Boeing 757 and 767 out of Boston’s Logan Airport. He normally flies routes that take him to the west coast. His total flight time is well over 12000 hours. During the late 90’s Steve started his graduate education at Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary in Lansdale PA. He was awarded a Master of Arts in Theological Studies in 2006 and a Master of Arts in Christian Ministries in 2007. Steve is currently writing his Doctor of Ministry dissertation with a proposed completion date of 2010. In July of 2000 Steve, Megan and the family moved to Georgetown Maine where Steve founded Cornerstone Baptist Church. The church has grown over the years and current attendance tops 225 per Sunday service. Steve has remained active in the Navy Reserve. In 2001 Steve was asked to design and teach a course in Navy Core Values. The course has found broad acceptance and Steve is a highly sought after trainer and motivational speaker. More than 7000 service members have attended his Core Values seminars since it’s inception in early 2002. Steve and Megan are instrumental in the lives of young parents. They have developed a parenting course entitled Parenting Matters. They teach weekend parenting seminars. Steve recently adapted and taught his Navy Core Values training to the entire student body and faculty of Clearwater Christian College in Clearwater, FL. Steve and Megan enjoy opening their home to young people and you will usually find a crowd at the Scheibner home. In his spare time he sleeps, watches the Red Sox and still complains about the last two minutes of the Patriots loss to the Giants in the Superbowl, and attends weekly meetings of Overachiever’s Anonymous.
