After attaining his Associates Degree, he went to Worsham College of Mortuary Science in Wheeling, Illinois. He graduated in March 2005 with an Associates Degree in Applied Sciences.
He made his decision on coming to this area because of the personal people in Logan County and the friendly staff at Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home. While here, Steven met his wife, Megan Edwards.
Megan Edwards is the daughter of Mike and Diane Edwards, Granddaughter of Joseph and Gladys Edwards, and Cecealia Steffen all of Lincoln. Megan is a 1998 Graduate of Lincoln Community High School.

Steven and Megan have twin sons, Grant and Drake, that occupy most of their time.
Steven and his family have been attending Holy Family Catholic Church and was a member of Rotary. In his spare time, he loves watching the Chicago Cubs, fishing, golfing, riding his bicycle and spending time with his family and friends. He is excited to be working in such a nice community with friendly people. He hopes to make a difference to the people in this area.
