After beginning his own business in 1982, he soon realized that you don't get into the business fast. It is a business that requires networking with Bankers, Bankruptcy Trustees, Machinery Dealers, etc. Steve began attending industrial auctions and buying and selling equipment and selling it out of his garage in order to make ends meet. In the mid to late 80's, The auction business took off, and as they say the rest is history.

Being in business is a lot of fun and hard work, but even more fulfilling is my family. God has blessed me with a wonderful wife and five children, three of whom have been adopted from Russia. What an adventure this continues to be.
