Steve has been playing professionally since the age of 12. He first picked up the guitar and started learning a couple of chords at age 7. However, it wasn't until he was 9 when his dad gave him a cassette of the first Van Halen album that inspired Steve to really learn to play. Steve would practice 8 hours a day and pass out all through middle school and high school. By 7th grade in school, he was playing numerous wedding and keg party's with his dad's band and also had a few original bands.

At 15, he won first place in the "Extreme Guitar Challenge" at Mars Music in Orlando, competing onstage with guitarist from all over the state of FL. After high school, a local gigging band called "Bong Water Taffy" contacted him and asked him to audition. Though 12 years younger than the other band members, Steve got the gig, and was playing at local bars and clubs in Orlando and Cocoa beach 4 nights a week, sometimes 2 gigs a night. The band had a great blend of funk, rock, metal and R&B. They eventually recorded a full length album at Full Sail Recording Arts, and did two interviews and live performances for Real Rock 104.1.
