He grew up in Roosevelt, Long Island (Eddie Murphy, Howard Stern, Public Enemy). There he honed his comedy skills by "snappin" on the corner with his friends. He was studying accounting at Nassau Community College when an English teacher recognized his gift for comedy. She urged him to try his hand at stand-up comedy at one of the local clubs. He did and was hooked, and so were his fans... It wasn‘t long before he was headlining clubs and colleges up and down the eastern seaboard.
After graduating from Adelphi University with a BS in Accounting, he made the decision to hang up his pencils and pursue comedy and acting full time. Steve moved to Los Angeles in 1994 where he has booked numerous national commercials. He started studying with the now famous acting teacher Larry Moss, a relationship that lasts to this day.
