Steve’s creativity became apparent at an early age. Beginning in eighth grade, teachers pulled his parents in for after-school meetings to encourage his writing abilities. It culminated at the University of Michigan when his English professor returned the final paper of the semester, scribbling at the top: "I accuse you of possessing talent and I dare you to do something with it." He took the challenge to heart and graduated with a contract in hand for his first nonfiction book, Eyes on the Gold.

Over the years Steve has written a dozen nonfiction books (many illustrated with his own photography). His magazine articles have appeared in such diverse publications as Writers Digest, Lost Treasure, Yankee and Sportscape, and his poems have been published by North American Mentor Magazine and Odessa Poetry Review.

Steve was a correspondent for People Magazine and wrote articles on the International Ice Patrol (where he visited the RMS Titanic’s resting spot in the North Atlantic), NASA’s Planetary Protection Officer (who protects earth from microbial invasion), and Richard L’Abbe, president of Med-Eng Systems (who personally tested his company’s bomb suit designs by allowing himself to be blown-up).

Steve is a born-again Christian and has resided in New Hampshire since 1981. He and his two "kitty kids" live at Sweet Fern, a scenic countryside setting. Among his diverse interests include: photography, antiquing, traveling, history, archaeology, cooking, hiking, canoeing, picnics, and the Arts.

Steve is listed in Who's Who in America, The Writers Directory, and Contemporary Authors. He is professionally affiliated with the Authors Guild, Academy of American Poets, Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators, and the National Eagle Scout Association.
