Steve was born on November 25th, 1990, in Fridley, MN and was raised in Brooklyn Center, MN. He went to school at Earl Brown Elementary and Brooklyn Center High School. He worked at Caterpillar for 7 years as a forklift driver, which he enjoyed doing and was great at.

Steve found his love for trucks at a young age and his love for computers during his teen years. He also has fixed up and customized all the Dodge trucks he ever owned and has fixed and built numerous computers and servers for himself, his family, friends, and others. He ended up being his family and friends “IT guy”, which he loved. He was a kind soul and was always willing to help someone in need, whether it was a family member, friend or a complete stranger stuck on the side of the road.
