Early Life and Education

Steve Lyles grew up on a cotton and alfalfa farm near Hagerman, New Mexico, before becoming a crop insurance agent and eventually opening the family business in 1996.

Lyles was appointed Conference Lay Leader during the North Alabama Conference’s 2011 Annual Meeting and later, during worship at his own church, presented Bob Neighbors to replace him as Conference Lay Leader. While all his congregation watched, Neighbors joined Equality UMC where he serves on their Church Council and Finance Committee.

Professional Career

In 1979 he reached his greatest success on the European Tour by placing seventh on its order of merit and winning two tournaments that season.

At the USA Indoor Championships, he competed in the 60-meter dash event and made it through his initial heat; unfortunately he did not advance to the semi-final stage.
