At an early age, Steve joined Lakeside First Baptist Church in Metter, GA. Later, as an adult, he moved his membership to Miracle Temple in Metter, GA, where he served the Lord as a faithful member.

Steve received his formal education from the public schools of Candler County, GA and was a member of the Metter High School Class of 1986. Steve was a professional barber and for many years he was also employed by the Flint Industries in Metter, GA.
