As a native of Colorado, Steve has enjoyed living and working in Denver all his life. He is a practicing Catholic, devoted husband, and father of seven kids. He lives in Erie, CO and his family fills up two pews at St. Scholastica when we often attend mass there.
In 1999, Steve started his own design and visualization company, The Shepherd’s Workshop, LLC with the sole mission of serving the Catholic Church in Her architectural and artistic endeavors. After a long career of serving the Church by helping parishes, architects, and ecclesiastical contractors, the company was renamed under Baker Architects, LLC with the commitment to further his efforts toward helping the Church.
Over the past twenty-four years Steve has been designing, managing, coordinating, and providing vision to parish projects across the nation. He has worked on all scales of project from baptismal fonts to basilicas.
