Steven was born and raised in southeastern Idaho on a dairy farm and as a result developed a great work ethic and compassionate nature at a very young age. He completed his undergraduate studies at Utah State University in Logan, UT, and continued his education at Midwestern University in Downer’s Grove, IL, earning a Master’s degree in Medical Science. Early in his career, he gained a broad medical background from working in Cardiac and Thoracic surgery and Emergency Medicine.
