He is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire and completed his MD in the Brown-Dartmouth program in 1992. Upon completing the Rochester residency program, he served a 4th year as a chief resident. As a resident, Steve served on the AAFP Commission on Education, as well as two years as the resident representative to the Association of Family Medicine Program Directors (AFMRD). His first job as a family physician was at Woodward Health Center, a federally funded community health center, where he practiced for five years and participated in the National Health Service Corps loan repayment program. He continued his involvement with AAFP, serving on the NYSAFP Commission on Leadership and then on the Board of Directors for two years as their New Physician representative.

He has presented numerous times at the Program Directors Workshop, the annual meeting of FM program directors. He was awarded the Gold level of the Program Director Recognition Award in 2015. Steve enjoys considering how family medicine can improve health systems where family medicine does not exist, and how it has to adapt to best meet the needs of a health care system. He has done family medicine consultations in Russia, Japan, Iran and Angola. He started both the Global Health Track and the Political Advocacy and Leadership Track in the residency, and runs an Explorers Post for high school students interested in health careers.
