While acquiring commercial properties and finding suitable tenants, he shifted his focus and started his own company, National Recreation Systems, where he guided the entire Company in the manufacturing, distribution, and installation of spectator seating products across the USA and many foreign countries. After 23 successful years of business, Steve decided to sell the company to a Wall Street conglomerate in 2011, making a permanent move to his seasonal Florida home for early retirement.
