His experience as a Registered Real Estate Appraisal Assistant further enhances his expertise in property valuation and market analysis.

By combining financial expertise, valuation knowledge, and market insight, he helps clients make informed decisions that align with their personal, business, and investment goals.
A longtime resident of Central Ohio for more than 30 years, Steve has developed a deep appreciation for the communities he serves. He is actively involved in giving back through volunteer work with organizations such as Children's Hospital, the Delaware County Food Bank, and the Ohio University College of Business Alumni Board. He has also served as a youth volleyball and football coach.
Outside of real estate, Steve is a passionate supporter of the Ohio University Bobcats, an avid golfer, and a former High School basketball official. He lives in Powell, Ohio, with his wife and is the proud father of two children, both graduates of Olentangy Liberty High School who currently attend Ohio University.
