As an adult, his reading interests grew to include thriller, suspense, and horror novels. Steven now lives in Tampa, FL where he works full time as a writer. During the leaner years at the beginning of his career, when computers where not ubiquitous business and household items, he held a variety of jobs that taught him skills and knowledge that he could use in the years to come, especially in writing. In the nineties, his career accelerated and he rode the internet wave to executive levels in the IT industry specializing in helping organizations merge their business models with advanced technology.

He dabbles in painting and graphic designs, reading his favorite authors. He's always looking for new writers who have unique ideas and can create a novel that draws him in. Although he has only been writing fiction for several years, he takes his craft as seriously as creating profitable business applications or learning a new computer language.
