Steven graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1993, receiving a bachelor of science in English literature. He served the next eight years on active duty, traveling the world as a naval officer assigned to various Navy and Marine Corps units from Japan to more than twenty countries throughout Asia and the Middle East. Steven's "in-house" experience with a wide range of regular and elite military units brings a unique authenticity to his thrillers. He lives with his family in central Indiana, where he still wakes up at "zero dark thirty" to write for most of the day. When "off duty," he spends as much time as possible outdoors or travelling with his family--and dog.
