Steven got into real estate because he wanted to help people navigate one of the biggest decisions of their lives.

After a distinguished career as a Navy LCDR, earning his Electrical Engineering degree from Penn State and a Masters from the Naval Postgraduate School, Steven could have done anything. He chose real estate because he wanted a career built on relationships, trust, and helping people make life-changing decisions with confidence.

What sets Steven apart is his commitment to transparency. He lays out the pros and cons of every transaction so his clients can make informed choices. No pressure, no surprises, no shortcuts. Just honest guidance from someone who genuinely cares about the outcome.

Licensed in Arizona with eXp Realty, Steven holds ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative), RSPS (Resort and Second-Home Property Specialist), and PSA (Pricing Strategy Advisor) certifications. His military background brings sharp attention to detail, strong leadership skills, and the kind of integrity that turns clients into lifelong friends.

When he is not helping clients find their dream home in Rim Country, you will find Steven enjoying the mountain lifestyle that brought him to Payson in the first place. He is social, easy-going, and always up for a conversation about real estate or the local community.
