He and his best friends, Mike and John Paul started their musical career together when they were students at Pershing Elementary School. The Sandy Creek Pickers and the Sandy Creek Band toured and performed in many states as well as locally at venues such as the Pla Mor Ballroom. They delighted audiences with bluegrass and country dance music for over fifty years.
Steve also had a long and successful career in real estate as a sales agent with Austin Realty and Home Real Estate. Talented in photography, Steve also worked as a real estate marketing photographer for many years.
