As a writer, Steve has three published novels through Falstaff Books with co-writer Paul Barrett, a fourth currently undergoing developmental edits and three more in the works. Paul and Steve have also written several screenplays, many of which have placed highly in national competitions.
Steve has spent much of his life in uniform, starting with four years in the Navy as a GMM (Gunners Mate Missiles)—earning the Navy Expeditionary Medal and Navy Unit Commendation. This was followed by two years in the Army where he worked as a forward observer. Steve then became a police officer in Charlotte, NC, where he spent twenty-three years; fourteen of those years he was on the SWAT team, nine of which he worked as a sniper.
Steve is not a stranger to film production, having worked as a military/law consultant on several projects, a set dresser for films, and a lighting technician in live theater. But his main strength is in project management and ensuring the producers stay on target and time and helping deal with any problems that come up with the crew. In addition, his knowledge of military protocol and interest in military history help maintain verisimilitude in all the military aspects on any project.
The father of two adult boys, Steve lives on a small farm in North Carolina with his wife, two dogs, and an elusive cat.
