Steve Green graduated from high school in 1981 and began working full time as the Store Operations Supervisor of Hobby Lobby.  He was promoted to Executive Vice President in 2000 and named President of Hobby Lobby in December of 2004.

In 2013, Green was presented with an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity Degree by Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary and in 2015, Mid-American Christian University presented him with an Honorary Doctorate of Biblical Literature.

Steve’s father, David, is the Founder and C.E.O. of Hobby Lobby and his mother, Barbara, is a Buyer for Hobby Lobby and Hemispheres.  His brother, Mart Green, is the Founder of Mardel Stores and currently serves as Chief Strategy Officer for the Green family businesses.  His sister, Darsee Lett, is the Vice President of Hobby Lobby Art/Creative.

In 2009, the Green family purchased its first biblical artifact and has since acquired tens of thousands of items which now comprise the Green Collection, and is on loan to Museum of the Bible.  Steve devotes a significant amount of his time to supporting this endeavor and its related projects, including the Museum of the Bible Scholars Initiative, education, traveling exhibits and research. The Green Collection is among the world’s newest and largest private collections of rare biblical texts and artifacts.

Green has authored three books. His first, Faith in America, was published in 2011 by Looking Glass Books and tells the history of the advertisements that Hobby Lobby places in newspapers across the United States each year to share the real meaning of Christmas, Easter and Independence Day.

In his second book, The Bible in America, published in 2013, Steve presents a never seen before view of who we are as a nation and as individuals and how the Bible has guided our history and continues to shape our national and personal destiny.  Both can be purchased at Hobby Lobby stores across the nation.

Steve’s third book is This Dangerous Book, written with his wife Jackie, released with Zondervan and can be found on Amazon and in your favorite books stores across the nation.

Steve and his wife, Jackie, have been married over 30 years and reside in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They are the proud parents of one son and five daughters.  Within the past several years they have added a daughter-in-law, two sons-in-law and four beautiful grandchildren.  They are actively involved at their church, as well as many other national and international Christian ministries and charities.
