Steve was born in a rural area in the southern part of the state of
Georgia and grew up working on a farm. After Steve and his family moved
to Atlanta when he was twelve years old, Steve attended and graduated
from O'Keefe High School. After high school Steve entered Georgia State
University as a history major but left school to enlist in the Army
serving in Air Defense Artillery and the infantry and rising to the
rank of sergeant. He then returned to civilian life and reentered
Georgia State University and earned his BA in history and, after
graduation received a commission as an Army infantry officer. After
service in the army, Steve returned to civilian life and became a
police officer. During his years as a police officer Steve earned a MS
degree from Georgia State University, married and then attended law
school at John Marshall Law School in Atlanta. After graduating from
law school Steve sat for the Bar Exam and passed it the first time. He
was admitted to the State Bar of Georgia and was also admitted to
practice before the Georgia Appellate courts and the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of Georgia. After a few years in the
practice of law, Steve began teaching classes at Georgia Military
College's Atlanta area campus and after becoming a full time
instructor, served briefly as Interim Assistant Dean for that campus.
Steve then returned to the practice of law and ended up working for the
State Bar of Georgia. It was during his time working for the State Bar
of Georgia that Steve's children participated in a program which
introduced them to the entertainment industry. This introduction was
beneficial for Steve's children but, it also opened up a whole new
world for Steve. In the Fall of 2006 Steve enrolled in acting classes
and began preparing himself for this new adventure in acting. In 2008
he appeared in an episode of the television series "Atlanta Homicide".
Continuing to prepare himself for an acting career, Steve appeared as
background in the pilot episode and five other episodes of the TV
series "Drop Dead Diva". Steve continues to work on projects as he
pursues his new passion - acting.
