The son of a Costa Rican mother and an Oregon lumberjack, Steve was born in Long Beach, California. His family moved to Cocoa Beach Florida where he often watched the missile launches from the cape. When Universal Studios Florida opened in 1990 Steve was chosen to be one of the opening cast members for "Who ya gonna call?”. Television production in Florida was busy in the early 90s and Steve guest-starred in multiple episodes of "Sea Quest DSV" "Pointman" and "Unsolved Mysteries" as well as Tom Hanks' award winning HBO mini-series "From the Earth to the Moon" and the USA original movie "Perfect Crime" with Mitzi Kapture (his first on-screen kiss). With the slow down of production in Florida in the late 90s, Steve became an art auctioneer, and traveled around the world by ship. Having quenched his wanderlust, he is acting again and now based in Los Angeles.
