Steve is a Sarasota, Florida–based Physical Therapist Assistant who once lived and breathed the craft beer lifestyle. What started as a hobby turned into a habit—and eventually into major health concerns. At over 100 pounds overweight, Steve realized he was a ticking time bomb. On New Year’s Eve 2022, he made a life-changing decision: he set down his last craft beer.
Now two years and eight months sober, Steve has transformed his life in remarkable ways. He recently celebrated his 58th birthday by joining The Sober New Yorker podcast, where he shared his story with humor, honesty, and plenty of laughs. Steve is also the host of The Craft Free Podcast, where he dives deep into sobriety, resilience, and current events—with the occasional conversation with his beloved dog, Cheeky Pint, just for fun.
When he’s not podcasting, Steve immerses himself in Stoicism, travels with his fiancée, and fully embraces the beauty of a sober life. His journey is proof that change is possible, joy is accessible, and life outside the bar can be even more rewarding.
