As an IFBB Physique Pro and winner of the 2011 Bodybuilding.com BodySpace Spokes Model Contest, Steve knows what it takes to accomplish one%u2019s goals. His success in the bodybuilding and fitness world is a natural extension of the active lifestyle he has always enjoyed. While playing high school football in Boise, Idaho, Steve fell in love with weightlifting and body building exercises. He went on to play college football and eventually competed in a local bodybuilding show, which he ended up winning. This gave him the confidence boost he needed, and the rest is history, as he devoted his life to this newfound sport. But beyond his good looks and perfectly sculpted physique is a man who has become a hero of sorts to those who don%u2019t just want to look good but who want to live a healthier lifestyle. Author of the Cook Effect, a cookbook with over 40 recipes dedicated to either fat loss or muscle gain and offering workout videos, advice, and full transparency of his daily routines, Steve has something for everyone who needs a boost or inspiration.
