Through his life, his artwork and animal fascination always focused on horses. When he met his wife-to-be, Kathryn, in college, he realized others also had this passion for horses even though horses had never yet been a part of their lives.
After Steve and Kathryn married and started a family, it would become apparent that their love of horses was still an unanswered call. Horses became a part of all their lives as Steve, together with his wife and their three daughters, took lessons and began to fulfill that dream they all shared. Soon after the family’s involvement with horses grew. The family left suburbia, and Steve started his beloved Winsom Farm, which remains a huge factor in his life.
The entire family became successful in their horse endeavors, and Steve’s reputation as an instructor further fueled his passion for both horses and people. His experiences, imagination, horse knowledge, and an everlasting belief in true romance drove him to start writing the stories he gives us now.
Steve currently lives in rural Illinois just outside of Chicago, with his wife of forty years, four horses of his own, fourteen boarding horses, five herding dogs, and many sheep as his wife trials her dogs. He teaches riding to students and their horses every day.view less
