Steve was born on June 30, 1957 in Fort Worth, Texas to Don and Beverly Nicholson. Steve spent his childhood years growing up on the East side of Fort Worth and graduated from Eastern Hills High School in June, 1975.

After High School, Steve attended Stephen F Austin State University in Nacogdoches, graduating in 1979 with a BA in Communications. Steve was a member of Sigma Tau Alpha Fraternity while at Stephen F Austin. During his college years he DJ’d at several East Texas radio stations including: KSFA, KEEE (both Nacogdoches), KLUF (Lufkin), KDOK (Tyler/Longview).

Steve returned to the Metroplex and spent his next years working at many well known Rock & Roll Stations such as: Q102, KISS-FM, KEGL, KZPS, Y-95, and KZEW.

Steve chose to follow Jesus as his Savior as a young child and was baptized. As an adult he came to understand the true meaning of walking with Jesus daily, and renewed his commitment to his Savior. Steve overcame four types of cancer during his adult life. He often spoke with joy and conviction about how he would never have been able to do this without the presence, love and endurance that God had given him during his treatment and recovery. As was usual, his son Wayne was faithfully by his side during this difficult time.
