Steve LeBel at a book talk and book signing at The Book Nook & Java Shop on June 3, 2017.

Hi, I’m Steve LeBel

I’ve worn a lot of hats in my life—counselor, hospital CEO, entrepreneur, tech geek, stock trader, writer, and now, someone deeply curious about cryonics and the future of life itself. But the thread that runs through it all is a love of learning and a drive to make things better, even when the path isn’t obvious.

I grew up in Michigan and still live here with my wife, Marge. I spent years running a hospital system and working in mental health, but I’ve also started companies, written fantasy novels, built websites, and explored more than a few unconventional ideas.

A Life Full of Curiosity

I’ve always been fascinated by systems—how things work, how people think, how we plan for the future. That curiosity led me from psychology into healthcare, then into software and finance, and eventually into the world of cryonics. Each step was a chance to solve problems, support others, and stretch into new territory.

Why Cryonics?

Cryonics wasn’t something I stumbled into lightly. It came after years of thinking about what comes next—scientifically, ethically, and personally. The more I learned, the more it made sense as a hopeful response to one of life’s hardest limits.

Now, I’m working with others who share that vision. I’ve been exploring ways to help members of organizations like the Cryonics Institute prepare for revival—financially, legally, and practically—and I’ve been writing about how tools like hospice can help bridge the gap between life and preservation. It’s deeply meaningful work to me.

What You’ll Find Here

This site is a space for me to share thoughts, projects, and the occasional odd idea. You’ll find:

  • Personal essays and articles on cryonics
  • Notes from my journey through health care, nonprofits, and tech
  • Updates on things I’m exploring now

If you’re curious about the same kinds of things—or just want to say hello—I hope you’ll stick around.
