I joined the SkyView Academy team in the Summer of 2020 as the High School College & Career Counselor. My family and I relocated to CO that same summer after retiring from the University of New Mexico with 26 years of service. I earned my BA in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from the University of New Mexico and earned my Masters degree in Guidance and Counseling from New Mexico Highlands University. I currently hold a CO Professional Special Services License.
Working as the College & Career Counselor at SkyView Academy has allowed me to help ALL SkyView students with their college exploration, career exploration, and helping them prepare for what is to come once they graduate and move on into the real world. I am passionate about my work and the connections I build with our students.
I am also the SkyView Academy Middle School Girls Volleyball A Team Coach. Being involved with the SVA community in this way has allowed me to bridge that connection between the middle and the high schools. I will continue to uphold the Vision and the Mission of SkyView Academy and the High School Leadership Team. I am honored and proud to be a part of the wonderful SkyView Academy community.

I'm so excited to be a part of the SkyView community! I have lived in Colorado my whole life, except for a brief 6-year sabbatical to the midwest for college. My husband and I have been married since 2004. We have three daughters who attend SkyView, and one unemployed housecat who has yet to show any ambition.

Steve was born in Grand Junction, CO and moved to the Denver area before he was one year old. He and his family currently reside in Highlands Ranch. Since 2005 he has worked at the same business. The global company where he works is based out of Melbourne, Australia, and he is the Head of I.T. Business Services. He is actively involved in serving on his church’s Tech Arts team as a Video Director. Previously, he volunteered as a Scholar Director for the scholarship organization Education First. He is the father of 4 kids, all of whom attend SkyView Academy. His 3 daughters are currently in the 6th, 4th and 2nd grades and his son is also in the 2nd grade. He holds the distinct honor of being SVA’s first Watch D.O.G.S. volunteer. In his spare time, Steve is actively involved in the organ transplant community (being a kidney recipient himself in 2016). In his spare time, he enjoys photography, hiking, golf, basketball, ping pong (and won a gold medal in ping pong at the 2018 Transplant Games of America along with a silver medal in golf).
My name is Steve Kuffel. I was born and raised in my hometown of Kewanee, Illinois. I went on to get degrees at Iowa State University and Southern Illinois University.
