Steve had the opportunity to do an internship at Midway Elementary teaching 3^rd grade. He then taught 4^th grade for 2 years at Century Elementary in Bear River City, Utah. In the summer of 2004 he moved his family to Southern Utah and taught 4^th grade at Bloomington Hills Elementary for a year. After a year, he had the opportunity to transfer to LaVerkin Elementary to teach 5^th grade, which he has been doing for the last 4 years. He will finish his M.ED. in Education Administration this summer.

Steve has 3 kids: Josh is 6 and will be starting 1^st grade this fall. Kaylee is 4, and Stacia will be turning 2 in August. Steve enjoys outside activities, sports, reading, serving others, and being with his family.
