In his spare time, Steve enjoys watching sports and spending time with his wife Emily and his two children, Adam and Kyle. He also freelances as a videographer, technical director, and production assistant with the Richmond Flying Squirrels and the athletics departments at VCU, University of Richmond, William & Mary, JMU, and Longwood. Sports are a big part of Steve's personal and professional life. He's a die hard Atlanta Braves and San Francisco 49ers fan and even helped start a summer collegiate baseball team in Colonial Heights, Virginia where he served as the team's General Manager for two years.
