Steve LeBel

Steve LeBel brings decades of nonprofit leadership, business acumen, unique problem-solving skills, and a deep personal investment in cryonics. He spent 17 years as the president of a Michigan hospital with 20 locations in three states, where he developed extensive expertise in governance, strategic planning, and fiduciary responsibility.

Since retiring from healthcare, Steve founded several technology companies offering computer networking, web design, hosting, and data centers. After selling those businesses, he focused on long-term investment strategies and later wrote a series of award-winning humorous fantasy novels. In recent years, his passion has turned to cryonics.

Steve is a forward-thinking team player who has already begun working with CI leadership on projects to strengthen the organization’s future. He has been reviewing nonprofit corporate structures where CI could accept tax-deductible donations and better safeguard its assets. He is also developing a model revival trust designed to give every member the option of contributing modest amounts that may grow into meaningful resources at the time of revival.

In a recent interview with Max More, Steve discussed his priorities for improving cryonics: reducing the time from legal death to cryopreservation, deploying early vital sign alert systems, working with hospices and funeral directors, establishing stronger quality control measures, online signups, and applying best practices in nonprofit board governance.

His published article in CI Magazine — “How Hospice Can Improve Your Cryopreservation Outcome” — reflects his practical and compassionate approach to member outcomes. Additional articles and downloadable cryonics-adapted documents are available on his website.

Steve values dialogue with members. He hosted a Zoom Session for members who expressed interest in Cryonics Revival Trusts and hopes to conduct more outreach during his tenure.

Steve is committed to transparent governance, prudent financial strategies, and building CI’s institutional strength — all critical for our long-term success.
