Steven graduated in 2006. He attended The Culinary Institute of America and until recently worked at Old Man Rafferty’s in Asbury Park.

Rachael Web, a manager at Rafferty's, remembered him as a good worker and a talented employee. Web said he left the restaurant to form his own company making portioned out meals for people on the go.
