Steve was born in Beaufort County on November 18,1969. He spent most of his teenage and adult life in the Piedmont area of North Carolina and prior to moving back to his hometown of Washington, NC in 2019, he resided in Julian , NC. Steve was a Motor-coach Operator for Holiday Tours of Randleman, NC since 2003 until his retirement due to failing health.

Most notably, he provided shuttle services during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, LA as well as for the 2010 Vancouver, Canada Winter Olympics.

Steve was also an extremely knowledgeable guide of the Washington, DC area; he knew all of the areas to avoid the high traffic, where and where not to park, and the best restaurants.
He was an avid UNC Tarheel fan, and counted transporting his beloved Tarheels as one of his favorite shuttle tasks. He collected UNC memorabilia, NASCAR scale model cars and considered himself a “foodie”. He had favorite restaurants all over the United States and Canada.
