For the past 12 years Steven has built his experience by surrounding himself with some of the most accomplished educators and marching ensembles in the community including Chino High School, POW Percussion, Pulse Percussion the Phantom Regiment, and Broken City. With 13 seasons of marching experience in WGI and DCI Steven was inspired to continue in the marching arts and begin his own body of work.
As an educator, Steven has worked with numerous programs in the Southern California Area including Woodcrest JHS, Alvarado IS, Walnut HS, Diamond Bar HS, Rowland HS, Vista Murrieta HS, Chino HS, Upland HS, and the Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps (2016-2019).
As a music arranger, Steven assumed the role of Battery Arranger / Drill Writer for Chino HS in 2015. Since that time the ensemble has made 3 consecutive A class Finals in the SCPA circuit, becoming class Champion in 2017 and then becoming an Open Class Finalist in 2019. In the Independent Division, Steven became Program Coordinator/Battery Arranger for Orange County Independent in 2017 (2017 SCPA PIO Champion / WGI Finalist) eventually rebranding the program with Weston Amaro as Vessel Percussion.
