Steve is the Multisports Editor for Liberty Sports Magazine and the Managing Editor for TransitionTimes.com and his material has often been published in national and regional print and web based publications.
In February of 2006, Steve was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Wasting no time, he underwent four rounds of chemotherapy. He maintained his baseline fitness level, often running home from his treatments and quickly reached complete remission. By July of that same year, he was back to racing triathlons. By September of that year, just 7 months after his diagnosis, "RemissionMan" crossed the finish line of his 8th career iron distance triathlon. (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, 26.2-mile run) His diagnosis drew him to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's TEAM in TRAINING program as a Triathlon Coach.
Brown has chronicled his journey through remission and across the finish line and in May, 2007 published the book "My New Race" to tell the story.
Brown has also written a collection of multisport short stories, articles, and interviews, entitled "The Inner Triathlete ... Forever ablaze". This book is dedicated to Jon "Blazeman" Blais and a portion of the proceeds benefit The Blazeman Foundation's fight against Lou Gehrig's disease.
In December of 2008, Brown released his third book; "50 FIT TIPS". "TIPS" contains 50 fun fitness and motivational tips, reminders, and messages designed to help motivate people and get them moving in the right direction towards better health through fitness.
