Born in Queens, New York, Steven moved to Virginia at a young age, and was raised in the West End of Richmond. After graduating high school, he attended Johnson & Wales University for Culinary Arts. Once getting his degree, Steven started honing his craft at well known food service establishments in Richmond before switching to the Retirement Industry, where he’s enjoyed serving residents for the last 20 years. What he loves most about his job is that he is able to take his past culinary experiences and offer fresh, tasteful, and seasonal dishes to all the residents at Brandermill Woods. When he’s not creating culinary masterpieces, Steven loves boating, fishing, and spending time with his wife Jillian and son Leo. Steven also loves hosting on their homestead with their Frenchie Uno Marz, 8 chickens, and 2 goats.
