Steve was born and raised in Williamsport, PA. He was a graduate of Westminster Choir College and went on to attend Trenton State University where he earned his Master of Arts Degree in choral conducting. Steve was an accomplished musician and singer who dedicated his career in service of the Catholic Church, including serving as the Music Director at Sacred Heart Church, Riverton, NJ, as head of the Diocesan Festival Choir for the Trenton Diocese, NJ, and as the Director of Sacred Music for Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish, Moorestown, NJ, where he would have celebrated 30-years of service in 2019.
