Steve was born and raised outside Sacramento, California, and started off skiing and snowboarding in the Sierras at age four. Annual family camping trips to Yosemite Valley have inspired him to pursue an active lifestyle outdoors and have led to his more recent job as a professional ski patroller in Lake Tahoe. In the Northern Sierras, Steve actively pursues backpacking, rock climbing, and backcountry snowboarding and has made a handful of trips to the High Sierras as well. Currently he attends school in San Luis Obispo and hopes to receive a degree in Economics.
