The man behind the stories.

Steve grew up in Chicago before moving to St. Louis, where he spent much of his life. His love of reading and writing was encouraged by his mother, a librarian and his brother, his grade-school teacher.

For 21 years, Steve owned and operated a digital marketing agency. His professional experiences, along with his interests and observations of the world around him, have continued to influence his writing.

Steve and his wife, Nancy, have three daughters and four grandchildren. Outside of writing, he enjoys spending time with his family and fly fishing on quiet streams in Missouri, that allow him to think about his story ideas.
