Details:
Steve has served on the staff of several churches, both in music and pastoral roles, and in recent years, has begun to expand once again on his musical abilities. His keyboard talents have also been featured regularly on the Awakening, a live praise and worship tv program broadcast all around the world. As part of the Awakening Band, Steve has appeared on TBN's "Praise the Lord" program and Daystar Network's "Celebration" program. In addition, Steve often is requested to add his keyboard style to recording projects in a wide variety of genres including Christian Contemporary, praise and worship, country, jazz, and southern gospel.

With the release of his first solo CD in October, 2003, "To Worship You", Steve accomplished a long-awaited dream of recording worshipful and intimate arrangements of contemporary praise and worship songs. In August, 2004, this CD was followed by the release of "'Tis So Sweet", on which Steve applied the same intimate style of playing to many classic hymns.

In 2005, "Christmas Solitude" was released. This CD featured Steve's intimate styling of well-known Christmas hymns and carols, focusing intentionally on the deep spiritual meaning behind Christmas. In addition to Steve's piano and keyboard arrangements, his wife Christy wrote and sang a lullaby entitled "Mary's Song (I'll Never Be the Same)".

In 2007, Steve purchased the rights to his first two CDs from the label that originally produced them, and re-released them independently. "To Worship You" was retitled to "Ivory Worship", and "'Tis So Sweet" retained its title.

During his varied career, Steve has had the opportunity to play with many well-known Christian music groups and artists, including:

* Tammy Trent
* Phillips, Craig, and Dean
* Bryan Duncan
* Nicole C. Mullen
* CeCe Winans
* David and Nicole Binion
* The Martins
* Darlene Zschech
* Hillsongs Worship Band
* Ronnie Freeman
* Russ Taff
* Dan Dean
* Josh Lopez
* Randy Phillips
* The Awakening Band
* John Ragsdale
* Larry Gatlin
* Landy Maughon and Everest
* Miss America 2003, Erika Harold
...and many others.

Currently, Steve and his wife live in Boone, NC with their son whom they homeschool. Steve is on the faculty of the School of Music at Appalachian State University as an Adjunct Instructor. His responsibilities involve accompanying and coaching many vocal students as part of their course of study. He is also the Musical Director for all musical productions at Blowing Rock Stage Company, a professional stage company in nearby Blowing Rock.
