He has worked on projects all over the world after starting out in finance & production at CBS Sports, both in studio and game sites.

He studied comedy at NYU, UCB & PIT and likes to field test his material in front of live audiences. His 1st feature film, Manhattan Minutiae, is a rock & roll romantic comedy streaming on Amazon. Steve shot a 1 hr TV pilot based on the movie called Lower East Asides which has won multiple international awards.
