With a Bachelor's Degree of Science in Photography from Rochester Institute of Technology under one arm and a Thoroughbred & Classic under the other, Steve set out to be an advertising photographer in 1982. All was going as planned, until he decided to start an Aston Martin export business in 1987, returning to Great Britain many of the unloved RHD DB4/5/6s that were dropping copious amounts of oil in garages all over North America. The excuse behind this exercise was to be able to afford a "fun car." Seventeen years later, that idea has grown into Aston Martin of New England/Lotus Motorsports, Inc.

 As with many SCM writers, Steve is fortunate enough to call his day job his hobby, driving great cars across the USA as frequently as time permits, and getting the occasional game of golf.

 Son Jack (8 years old) has just decided that the Aston Martin DB9 is the coolest car on the planet; apparently, he’s been bitten by the bug as well. Luckily, Steve has a girlfriend who loves the old rigs too, and has her own vintage Porsche. Steve’s recent rides have included an Aston DB4 Vantage & V8 Vantage, a Porsche 356 Speedster, a ‘64 Buick Riviera, a 275GTS Ferrari and an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spyder.

With credit to Satch Carlson, Steve’s idea of the perfect house is a 17-car garage—with a one bedroom attached.
