While attending college in Fullerton, Steve commuted to Riverside to march with the Riverside Marching Tigers.

In 1995, Steve moved to Reno, Nevada to accept a position as the Band and Orchestra Specialist at Carpenters Music World. He immediately started to cultivate relationships with area music educators. Shortly after, he was promoted to General Manager, a position he held for the remainder of his time there.

In 2004, Steve acquired the Band and Orchestra division of Carpenter’s Music World, separated and created Absolute Music, Northern Nevada’s first band and orchestra specialty store. Absolute Music has become the premier school music dealer in the region.
