Born July 21, 1966 in Rockford, Illinois, Steve attended Rockford Public Schools, was a proud 1984 graduate of Auburn High School, and was employed for ten years at Woodward Governor before relocating to Fort Worth, Texas.

Steve’s focus and drive to make his mark in the fabrication industry would be the makings of a very rewarding career. His pursuit to share his knowledge and become a successful leader led him to teach engineering classes at the University of Dallas while owning and operating his own business, On The Spot Mobile Detailing company.
