Steve was raised in Sacramento and graduated from El Camino High School in 1971. Steve and his family moved to Pollock Pines in 1994 to enjoy the small town atmosphere and clean mountain air. Steve developed his strong work ethic early in life starting his first job at 13 as a Sacramento Bee carrier. At 15 he worked as a mechanic at a neighborhood service station. Steve worked for 20 years at Thomson-Diggs Company, owned his own business for a short period of time until 1997 when he started his career in Parks and Recreation where he worked at Fulton-El Camino Parks and Recreation as Parks Superintendent and General Manager.
