Steve has been an athlete since the age of 4, when he started swimming. At age 12 he added the bike and ultimately began competing in triathlons. After contracting a virus that affected his heart, he suffered a slow but steady decline in his health over the next 10 years, resulting in the need for a heart transplant. After successful surgery, just getting back to normal was not enough for Steve. So just months after his transplant, he was cleared to participate in the Transplant Games. And came home with the bronze.
