In 2007 he moved to Marshall County, Lewisburg, where he continued to haul/transport cattle to feed lots out west. He managed the farm where he lived for many years and it was then he met Tad Craig. Craig & Wheeler was the first real estate company to list the farm and get the buyer's attention where others before tried and failed. Steve offered to show the farm to the first buyers. He did such a good job that he sold the place he had been living for 8 years, right out from under him with no place to go. It all worked out for the best. (lol) Tad complimented him on such a "good showing" and said if you ever get interested in selling real estate to give him a call, he would hire him. After studying and completing the courses required to become an Agent, here he is at Craig & Wheeler ready to list and sell.
