Steve Bollman - Founder and President of Paradisus Dei
During the Great Jubilee, Steve Bollman, experienced a personal call to found a ministry dedicated to the renewal of marriage and family life. In 2002, he set aside his professional interests as an energy derivates trader in Houston to found Paradisus Dei. In 2004, Steve developed the That Man is You! men's program, which quickly spread across the country transforming men, marriages, and families. Independent research by a Faith Advisor to The Gallup Poll indentified it as one of the most life transforming programs ever developed.
