In second grade, Steve wrote, directed and acted in his class Christmas production. He even cast his "first crush" as the leading role.

 

By sixth grade, he was paid to perform his tricks and puppet routines for elementary schools and churches near his home. As a teen, Steve competed and won several performing arts competitions at local, state and regional levels.
