Steven originally joined Hester Advisory Group, the predecessor to Navitas Wealth Advisors, in 1994, after working in a relationship-based role for a car dealership. Two years later, he ventured out with a partner to create an environmentally savvy start-up business to impact ecosystem sustainability for farmers in his local community. He credits this experience as being one of the best learning experiences of his life, forcing him to develop proactive planning and decision-making skills, along with detail-oriented quality control. Five years later, Steven returned to partner again with George Hester at Navitas Wealth Advisors.

He earned his Bachelor of Science from Mississippi State University. Steven enjoys outdoor activities with his family and serves on the Board of the Christian school his children attend.
