He's often outdoors exercising his rescue dogs. Steve's also active with Tarheel Weimaraner Rescue as a foster parent and rescue relay driver. Besides a LOVE for the land, he has a passion for history and Historic Preservation.

Steve’s introduction into Real Estate started in June 2001 when he and his partner were left homeless with 6 dogs. In March 2002 he licensed through O'Brien Realty “The Best of Southern Maryland”. Steve cast a wide net and quickly Land and Residential Real Estate became his specialties on the Chesapeake Bay. He never wanted his clients to go through the atrocities he did, he’s always put his clients first and justly his rewards have followed.

In 2005 an opportunity presented itself for Steve to move his family to the Yadkin Valley Wine region. Quickly Steve planted his roots and became an expert in a fast growing market neglected by most.
