He was born in New Albany, Indiana, graduated from New Albany High School, attended Indiana University. Steve joined the United States Air Force, serving four years. After concluding his service to his country, a new job opportunity brought him to Cleveland, where he remained. Steve had a long successful law enforcement career. Steve loved his family and was always there for anyone who needed anything he could help with. He loved to travel, learn new cultures. He called many places home, but St. Simons Island was the place he felt most at home.
