Born on August 29, 1971, in Clarksburg, West Virginia, Steve lived a life marked by dedication to his family, pride in his work, and a deep appreciation for the simple joys of life.

A graduate of South Harrison High School Steve went on to serve his country in the West Virginia Army National Guard from 1990 to 1996. In 2001, Steve founded Riddle Trucking Company, a business that became not only his livelihood but also a source of great pride.
