Steve was 37 years old, married with 2 boys when he tried out for Starcade. He said, "Ever since the audition for your show, I have had a house full of people watching your show...". He "used to pit for a race car that raced at Saugus Speedway (Santa Clarita, Ca) in the early 70s every Sat nite for about 3yrs. I was a ... High School Youth Counselor which was a real experience and a lot of fun. I coached girls' Bobby Sox Softball for about 4 yrs ... took 1 team to a national tournament where we placed 4th place out of eight states. Then my two boys became of age and wanted me to coach them in soccer and Little League Baseball. I coached soccer and boys' baseball for about 7 yrs, which I have memories that I will never forget. Being involved with kids and working with them is something that I will always cherish and love."

Sounds like an interesting guy...right? We thought so...so we offered him a contestant position. We weren't disappoined. He played a great game - with an enthusiasm that was contagious! He said about himself, "I just get high on life." He described his video game playing ability as, "fairly new but they (video games) grow on you."

We agree ... they grow on you ... just like Steve!
