Steve was a longtime private dump truck driver until he went to work for a company he loved, Luck Stone in Rockville, Virginia, as a lab tech and then a loader operator. He loved his job and giving the truck drivers hell on the radio. He was an avid "CB" radio fan and known worldwide and keying on his friend "Big Boy." His lifelong friends Ricky and Cheryl Wood were always there for him. Steve always put his friends and family first, and could work on anything.
