A native Oregonian, Steve began working in the glass industry in 1988 with Architectural Glass and then Union Avenue Glass where he worked with all aspects of glass including both commercial and residential.

Steve started GlassCrafters in 1997 and shifted his focus to residential work, preferring the personal relationship with his customers over the more corporate relationship in commercial glass work.

He has one son, Josh, who is 16 and is eager to learn about the business from his dad. In his spare time he enjoys fishing and spending time outdoors. He practices Native American ceremonies as well as drumming and singing.
