Database Health Monitor and tools
I’ve spent more than 15 years building Database Health Monitor, a SQL Server monitoring and diagnostic app used by database professionals around the world. It covers waits, blocking, deadlocks, TempDB, backups and more.

Writing and speaking
I write articles, teach courses and present at user groups and conferences. I’m the author of a book on Common Table Expressions, and I created the Database Corruption Challenge in 2015.
Hi, I’m Steve.
I’ve worked with SQL Server since its early releases. Today I lead Stedman Solutions and build the tools I wish I’d had on every consulting job.
Away from the keyboard I’m a volunteer firefighter and EMT, and I spend as much time as I can cruising Washington and British Columbia aboard Off Leash with my wife Marcia and our dogs.
Is your SQL Server slow, damaged or keeping you up at night?
Proactive care costs far less than an emergency. Tell me what’s going on, and my team and I will help you work out the next step.
