Our Team

Steve Liberati / Head Caveman

Steve is always on the hunt for a better way to eat, live and share his findings with others. Never satisfied, Steve works tirelessly to find the best ingredients on Earth to fuel himself, his athletes and the community that helps support Steve's Club: his labor of love non-profit CrossFit gym offering young teens in Camden, NJ coaching, guidance and support. Steve is trying to change the culture through the youth's perspective by practicing the value of proper nutrition, lifelong physical fitness, mentoring and taking personal responsibility.

Steve is a competitive CrossFitter, eats a paleo everyday (except when coffee ice cream is placed in front of him!) and takes great pride and joy in running Steve's Original, Steve's Club, Steve's Club National Program, CrossFit Tribe and chasing his son Dominic and daughter Gianna around the backyard.

In addition to lots of meat and spinach, Steve's favorite products are the Coconut PaleoKit and Grass-Fed Paleo Stix and never misses a bowl of PaleoKrunch (with almond milk) each day to keep him charging along.

Lee Knight / Strategic Planner and Do'er

Lee is constantly looking for ways to improve operations at Steve's Original. Her background in management consulting is especially handy when frantically packing those last-minute orders or putting funky stickers on our awesome Steve's Club Sampler gift bags.

If she's not at her computer analyzing numbers or creating "strategies" (what are "strategies" anyway?!), she's probably in the kitchen eating sardines on lettuce wraps or apples with almond butter. Lee's favorite Steve's Original product is Just Jerky, and PaleoStix.

Lee is a competitive CrossFitter, eats paleo everyday, and is also the Program Director for the Steve's Club National Program (www.stevesclub.org)

Liz Wolfe / Nutrition Advisor

Liz is a board-certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, writer, and member of the Weston A. Price Foundation. Liz, her husband, and their 95-lb mutt, Cal, all eat "Paleo Plus" (incorporating ancestral foods like fermented vegetables, organ meats and homemade bone broth) and source their meat, eggs & veggies from local farms. She can be found at AncestralWellness.com, or at her blog, CaveGirlEats.com.

Liz started out at CrossFit Kansas City, and landed at Steve's Club/Steve's Original/CrossFit Tribe when the Air Force moved her family to New Jersey. Soon after the move, she received her CrossFit Level 1 cert.

Liz considers the writers/researchers/nutrition activists Gary Taubes (Good Calories, Bad Calories), Nora Gedgaudas (Primal Body, Primal Mind), Stephanie Seneff, Chris Masterjohn, and Dr. Weston A. Price (Nutrition and Physical Degeneration) as her heroes. Her list of non-heroes includes Tracy Anderson, Jillian Michaels, Dr. Oz, and Charlie Sheen.

Kristen Liberati / Paleo Support Specialist

Although Kristen is involved on many levels at Steve's Original, her main responsibiity on a day to day basis is handling the large influx of emails from prospective wholesale resellers (including CrossFit affiliates), in addition to the hundreds of emails we receive each week from our servicemen and women inquiring about our 10% military discount. 

When Kristen is not answering emails for Steve's Original, she is running the Liberati household as a mother of two young childern (Dominic and Gianna) and boss of a very busy modern caveman named Steve. But despite her hectic lifestyle and required patience listening to all of Steve's crazy ideas, Kristen wouldn't trade it in for the world. 

Kristen's favorite Steve's Original product is Grassfed PaleoStix and Original PaleoKrunch bar. 

Patrick Byrnes / Paleo Support Specialist

Pat Byrnes is a Certified Crossfit Trainer with a background in amateur Mixed Martial Arts including Muay Thai Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He is the Head Trainer for CrossFit Tribe, who share the space with Steve's Club Camden. When Pat is not teaching classes for CrossFit Tribe or returning customer service emails for Steve's Original, he can be found in the gym kitchen scarfing down a Paleo friendly meal or chowing down some jerky and PaleoKrunch. Pat follows a strict Paleo Diet and is a huge fan of avocados and sweet potatoes!

Ralf Santiago / Fulfillment Specialist

Ralf Santiago is a long standing member of Steve's Club and a Certified Level 1 CrossFit trainer. Ralf teaches the SC class on friday at 4pm and serves as a great role model to the younger athletes of Steve's Club.

Jose Santiago / Fulfillment Specialist

Jose Santiago is a long standing member of Steve's Club and just an overall good guy. Jose is a full-time student studying at  a local trade school with the aspirations to one day start his own auto repair shop.
