Steve was born in Vancouver, moved to Kamloops at age eleven where he graduated from Kamloops Senior High and then Cariboo College. He was an energetic member of the 3rd Kamloops Scout Group where he received his Chief Scout Award. After graduating from Cariboo College, Steve moved to Calgary where he developed his career as a Graphic Designer with several companies as well as starting 16 years of vigorous volunteering with the St. John Ambulance Volunteer Brigade. He received several Provincial commendations, won a National Competition award and most importantly met Sandi, where they developed a wonderful relationship full of fun, adventures and memorable shenanigans.
Steve and Sandi were married in Calgary in 2007, relocated to Kamloops in 2012 with a Canada Post work transfer and then approximately 8 years later the opportunity arose for them to put their lives in storage and move to Vancouver Island and live in their travel trailer while exploring the local communities before permanently settling on the Island. Steve and Sandi have resided in Comox for the past two and a half years and have enjoyed every aspect of this wonderful community.
