He's been working his own machining company out of his dad's garage from the age of 20, and has garnered experience and useful skills ever since. Steve is definitely the outdoorsy type, preferring to spend his time boating, fishing, or otherwise surrounded by nature. He also has a penchant for fixing other things -- including Hot Rods. When asked what he loves about his job, his response was "looking for the part inside of a billet piece of metal or plastic, then helping it find its way out."
