ABOUT STEVE
I have been an advocate for the cure for Type 1 diabetes since 2005, when my two-year-old niece was diagnosed. And I have been an advocate for the restoration of the values which propelled the U.S.A. to be our world’s greatest country since reading a book at age twenty-one about the power of thought and the human mind. An event which I parlayed into a successful forty-year career in the emerging data networking technology industry. These two experiences merged in 2012, when the idea of the story of Jonathon Braxton, a fictional character borne of my life experiences, came to mind.
My experience in Type 1 advocacy led me to the Los Angeles chapter of JDRF in 2007 (now called Breakthrough T1D), and onto a Board of Director’s seat for the world’s largest Type 1 advocacy organization. An experience which introduced me to the science of Type 1 cure research. And an experience which formed within me a heightened frustration in learning that despite hundreds of millions of dollars invested by the U.S. Government in Type 1 research over the last thirty years, and still true today in 2025, we do not definitively know the cause nor have a cure in sight for this insidious disease affecting millions of people, including millions of young children, around the world.
My experiences studying the power of the human mind in my early twenties and how we can shape our lives by what we think powered my ideas of how we get our country back on track.
The story of Jonathon Braxton in the BRAXTON’S AMERICA trilogy, fun and light-hearted, but serious when it needs to be, is my prescription for curing Type 1 diabetes. And for healing our ailing nation.
Enjoy.
