During that time, he served as an Infantryman from 2004 to 2005 and then in Special Forces, also known as the Green Berets, from 2005 to 2011. That experience put him face to face with what veterans, first responders, and trauma survivors carry home, and it shapes his commitment to Zero Mind Group's healing mission.

He met Great Grandmaster Bobby Tabimina in Iligan City alongside Sir Bob's three sons, Grandmaster Flint Tabimina, Master Chad Tabimina, and Master Dag Tabimina, and Master Sylvester "Jojo" Ygay, V. Since then, Steve has trained in Tabimina Balintawak under the Tabiminas and has taught the art in the United States as a Tabimina Balintawak instructor.

After leaving the military, Steve spent over a decade as a technology leader in the New York City area, building and leading engineering teams.

Alongside that work, he pursued formal training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Hypnosis in the lineage of Tad James. He is an NLP Trainer and Certified Hypnotist, having completed Practitioner and Master Practitioner training. He works as a coach using Timeline Therapy and Ericksonian methods to help clients release limiting beliefs and rewrite the patterns running their lives.
