Steven started his musical career playing alto sax in middle school and high school. His first string instrument was a guitar, but the mandolin has been his primary instrument since 1996. His musical style is unique and makes for great devotional or background music. We thank you for your interest in Steven's music. I also have two beautiful children who I adore very much.I grew up in Miami, Fl and attended Duke University. I spent the first 4 years of my career in the US Army with a tour in South Korea. I have also taught english in Japan and taught world culture in Austin. I received by MBA from University of Carolina. What one fellow mandolin player said from mandolin cafe:"The (Your) music is some of the most beautiful mandolin music I have ever heard. Gorgeous melodies and beautifully played."
