Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Steve moved to Citrus Heights 32 years ago at the urging of his wife Nanette, a Sacramento native. They have two adult children and six grandchildren. Their son Travis graduated from Cal Poly SLO, completed his Master’s degree in special education and is now teaching at a local high school. Their daughter Nicole graduated from Chico State, served as a Specialist in a U.S. Army Military Police Company for six years and now works for a bank.
Steve has worked in the construction industry for 42 years and worked for twelve years as an Inspector and Construction Manager for the County of Sacramento. He started his own consulting business in 2000. In 2010, he joined KMM Services, an electrical and technology engineering firm located in Carmichael. Steve also worked for the San Juan Unified School District as a Construction Manager for Capital Improvement and Bond Projects in 2014-2015. Steve retired from work in construction after fighting and winning a battle with bladder cancer.
Currently he is representing Citrus Heights on the U.S. Army Community Relations Board and the Sacramento Regional Transit District Board of Directors, where he served as Board Chair in 2010. He is a director for the Capitol Corridor JPA and an ex-officio member of the Sunrise MarketPlace Board of Directors. Over the years he has represented the city on the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) Board, the Sacramento County Library Board and the Metropolitan Cable TV Commission.
