Steve was born on May 22, 1969, in Naples, Florida, to the late Charles Menninger Jr., and Angela Menninger. He was a dedicated educator and mentor whose career spanned over 28 years. He earned his bachelor’s degree from East Carolina University and later received his master’s degree in education from the University of Phoenix.

A lover of sports, he especially enjoyed basketball and was also a dedicated soccer coach. Steve was a positive role model for his involvement with the Boy Scouts of America.
