Born and raised in the mountains of Utah. Steven has grown to be an outdoorsman. Camping, hiking, and exploring the rugged lands of Northern and Southern Utah is a regular activity of he and his friends. Growing up in the mountain community of Sundance he was constantly influenced by nature and the arts. He grew up with three brothers who influenced each other to reach new levels in exploration, sport, and life. Skiing was a huge part of his youth.

He and his brothers ski raced side by side pulling and pushing each other along into their mid teens. With hard work and God given talent, Steven rose to the highest level of Alpine Skiing, competing on the International FIS World Cup Circuit.

It all started when he won the World Junior Championships Slalom title in 2002 as a discretionary pick from the coaches. The result qualified him for the World Cup Finals where he had a rough first run. He brushed off the initial World Cup nerves and laid down a great second run for the 6th fastest time. A rarity for a kids first World Cup attempt!! He then suffered two broken legs (skateboarding in 2002 and skiing in 2004) during the next few years, but he didn’t quit. He compiled 2 US National Downhill Titles (2003, 2005) and racked up several other lower level wins before he broke onto the World cup circuit again in 2006. His first start of the season he finished 14th and shocked the speed tour. He continued his success through the whole season. The highlight of his 2006 season was a 4th place finish in Garmisch Partenkirchen, Germany, just missing the podium!! As a member of the 2006 Torino Olympic Team Steven competed in the Downhill, Super G, and Combined events. He once again turned heads by finishing 24th in the Downhill and 13th in Combined for the overall discipline standings. Steven has proven he is a consistent World Cup performer and one of America’s top alpine skiers by skiing at an elite Levin in four of the five disciplines. Look for Steven to be a threat for the Overall World Cup glove in the future!!
