Who he really is…

Steve began playing piano and other instruments by ear at the age of 5. Recently, he re-engaged in this passion, and “freelances” as a session and professional musician, playing bass guitar. You’ll also often find him outside hanging out with his two, black, labra-beagles or writing about health and science as a freelance medical and health writer.
