President/General Manager
Steve and his wife Ellen have been married for 36 years and live in Holmesville, Ohio. They have five children, three daughters and two sons, as well as eight grandchildren.
Steve is the president and general manager of the Ohio Floor Company. He took ownership of the company in 1983, buying out Bear Floor Sanding and changing the name to Mid-Ohio Hardwood Floors. In 2005, the company was renamed The Ohio Floor Company to better express the growth the company has made over the years. Under Steve's leadership, the company has grown into much more than just a simple hardwood flooring company.
Steve started working in the construction field when he was 15 years old, and soon realized he had a real entrepreneurial spirit. He loves being a true craftsman. Even though his current role as president and general manger often takes him away from the daily job site, his real love is being hands on with projects and figuring out how to make things work better.
Steve is not all work, he loves spending time with his family. Hunting trips with the boys is high on his list of fun things to do. He and Ellen enjoy spending the day with their four grandchildren. He also enjoys traveling. When the kids were young, it was not uncommon to load them up and hit the road to travel across America. He and Ellen have also had the privilege of visiting Europe recently. Steve has visited Mexico, Honduras, and Costa Rica while on mission trips. When he can find the time, he also enjoys a good book, always wanting to expand his knowledge.
Another passion in his life is helping people find a better way of life. He puts this passion into practice by serving as co-pastor at Oasis Tabernacle Church in Sugarcreek, Ohio. He has served in this position for the past 27 years.
