As a baby, he went with his family when his father was transferred to Japan, returning to the United States when he was four years old. After spending a few years in New York, Steven moved again with his family to Novato in 1967 when his father transferred to Hamilton Air Force Base.

While at Novato High School, Steve played on the basketball team and graduated in 1978. Going on to San Francisco State, Steve graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics in 1980. While at San Francisco State, he met and married his then-wife, Sharon, in 1982. They moved to Honolulu where they had their son, Shohan, before returning to California. Steve was a very involved father, participating in homeschooling and involving the family in activities such as Kuk Sool martial arts, where he earned his black belt.
Steven pursued his dream career of becoming a firefighter for the City of San Rosa. He began his career in April 1992. On February 2, 2001, he rose to the rank of Fire Captain.
