Shortly after graduation Steve attended Eastern Washington University where he studied Forestry. In the early 1970's Steve began his first career and the family business as a Logger in the Colville area.

In 1989, Steve and his family (Mary Ann, Adam, and Joe) would make a short move to Spokane where Steve would begin his second career as a mechanic for M.L. Construction.

In 2019, Steve retired and would spend these past few years relaxing and enjoying time with his wife, family, and golden retriever. Steve was a dedicated Seattle Mariners fan. If the game was on TV, Steve had it on! Steve also spent the past years fighting COPD which would eventually take his life.
