Growing up a mid-western boy in Wisconsin instilled in Steve both hard work and
dedication… qualities that helped him succeed in his personal and professional life.
A gifted athlete, Steve became a top bodybuilder at a young age winning the Mr.
America title in 1989. The recognition spurred him on. Shortly afterwards, he packed his
bags and moved to Los Angeles where he immediately established a thriving modeling
career landing on the covers of such magazines as Muscle & Fitness and Muscular
Development. He was soon starring in popular television shows, including Married With
Children and the WB kick-off sitcom, Muscle; however it was his stint as TOWER on
The American Gladiators that made him a household name.
Steve enjoyed the opportunities that accompanied The American Gladiators’ popularity;
from touring the U.S., Europe and Asia, to endorsing his favorite products, participating
in philanthropic events, serving as a fitness advisor, and mentoring his successors.
His next role however, would become his most important… that of husband and father.
Seeking a schedule conducive to family life, in 2002 Steve made a complete career
change into residential & commercial Real Estate title insurance. With his drive and
determination it wasn’t long before Steve was one of the top sales representatives at a
Fortune 500 company. He is currently working as the VP/County Manager for Stewart
Title Company. Never one to rest on his laurels, he has also turned a hobby of graphic
design into his own design and print company, “Printing 24/7”; responsible for a lot of
the marketing material of companies and products you come in contact with every day!
Steve recently came out of retirement from Bodybuilding and finished 2nd in the Nation in
the 2018 Mr. America over 50 contest. Steve believes that at a young age of 54 that he is
a perfect healthy lifestyle role model for people of all ages.
