Steve Lage is owner and webmaster for indoorclimbing.com, and currently manages the website full time. His interest in climbing began back in 1976 as he was just starting an Air Force career. While stationed at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, he and his Air Force buddies would slip off the the Garden of the Gods for rock climbing every chance they got. He continued in the Air Force and was assigned to Civil Engineering as an Engineering Assistant. While on active duty he completed his degree in Computer Science from Chapman University. About the same time the new sport of indoor climbing was emerging. In 1998 he used his engineering experience and computer knowledge to provide the first online source for how to build a home climbing wall. He has personally built several home climbing walls, including those featured in this book. Steve retired from the Air Force after a 30 year career. He remains active in many outdoor pursuits including hiking, camping, and outdoor and indoor climbing. See less
