He has logged thousands of hours focused on developing those in an organizational setting. Steve spends most of his free time thinking about the next great training solution, and is constantly building models for improving organizational health.

He lives in Denver, Colorado, where he volunteers with Big Brothers Big Sisters, lives an active lifestyle, and takes every opportunity to fly to sunny California to visit with family.

Ellis Ritz is one of the cofounders of Meyvn Global, and is currently acting as the director of learning and development. During his nearly 40 years of mining and training experience, Ellis saw a need for training and consulting on a level that others could better identify with.

He lives in Tucson, Arizona, where he writes short stories and poetry, and chases antiques when time permits. He retreats to fly-fishing when it's vacation time, as there is nothing like a new adventure.
