He attended Tantasqua High School in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, and then Boston University earning a bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering. Steve's career began in the Air Force as a second lieutenant at Moody A.F.B. flying the T-33. After flight training at Moody A.F.B, Steve was assigned to Dover A.F.B. and became a command pilot flying the C-133 bringing supplies to troops during the Vietnam War.
