Growing up in Miami, FL before moving to the Tennessee Valley for High School, Steven chose Auburn University for Architecture school, where he led initiatives on experimental 3D work utilizing video game engines to present a project’s narrative. Steven shared those methods with other students and began to develop an interest in teaching. The love for teaching and learning was cemented from years of teaching Architectural History at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Steven has many award winning works in his previous work and is a licensed architect in four states.

Steven is married and as his wife, Kerri, can attest, loves to spend time outdoors. Climbing, kayaking, surfing, and backcountry hiking are ways for us to connect to ourselves. He truly loves honest travel as it strengthens him in many ways. With a passion for art and the written word, Steven is inspired by the works of Emerson, Muir, and Thoreau.
