Steve Ward is mostly known for being an expert on love, dating and relationships as the Master Matchmaker, Host and Executive Producer of VH1's hit show, "Tough Love", where he gained worldwide recognition for his no nonsense approach to life and love over six seasons.

His latest venture, Authenticate.com provides Identity Verification Infrastructure as a Service for fraud prevention solutions in e-commerce, online communities, marketplaces, networks, exchanges and apps of all kinds through a hosted UI, robust APIs and mobile SDKs.

Steve also still serves as CEO of his family owned, Master Matchmakers, an exclusive, high-end matchmaking and coaching practice that has been steering successful singles into meaningful relationships for over 20 years. His book "Crash Course in Love," is a refreshingly honest and handy romance guide for women everywhere that was published by Simon and Schuster.
