Born and raised in the Niagara Region, Steve had humble beginnings in the community theatres of Grimsby, Smithville and St. Catharines. This led to stints at both Brock University and The National Theatre School of Canada where he studied acting. He’s performed in both plays and musicals across the country and this year will mark his 23rd season with The Stratford Festival.
A professional actor for over 30 years now, his writing career began during the pandemic. He wrote and directed goldfish for the Here for Now Festival in Stratford (special thanks to Fiona Mungillo) and followed that up with Life Without which brought critical acclaim for both the writing and the production. The following year saw 12 Dinners sell out the entire run and break box office records. In 2025, both 12 Dinners and goldfish received second productions and his first play Mechanically Inclined had its world premiere. He is also the author of Wolf, Early Genius, Bay Wedding and Departure.
Steve is the recipient of a Dora Award, a Broadwayworld Theatre Award and four Tyrone Guthrie Awards.
