Steve's interest in the outdoors, began at a very young age while growing up in the mining city of Butte, Montana. Steve recalls that "Outdoor recreation was always a part of our family life. Fishing, hunting and camping in the wilds of Southwest Montana was a influential portion of my life as a young man. During the spring and summer months, weekends were divided between camping in the Pioneer Mountains of the Wise River, a small tributary of the Big Hole River, or in the Bernice area north of Butte. Here, a family ranch has existed since the early 1900's. Our days as youths were spent fishing the small creeks and beaver ponds of Red Rock Creek. The fish were plentiful and we spent much our carefree time, wading up and down the shores of the small creek. In the summer of 2006, my daughter Jacqueline caught her first Brook trout here on a fly. Another pastime during the summer months was trail bike riding into the high mountain lakes of Southwest Montana. Here big rainbows and cutthroats were the primary target. During the months of Autumn and Winter, our interest turned to archery and big game hunting for mule, whitetail deer and Rocky Mountain Elk as well as skiing and snowmobiling the rocky slopes of the Continental Divide.
