Like a true Renaissance man, Steve is fond of gorging himself on large turkey legs, suffering from bouts of the plague and being grossly overweight. But he still finds time to be a filmmaker, writer, comedian and attorney. He produced the feature-length documentary "The Seattle Pilots: Short Flight Into History" and, with Mykal Lewis, produced the cult-classic sketch comedy show Smith and Jones Cable. (It’s a small cult.) In addition to his work for Glossy News, Steve also maintains a website where he keeps his brain stuff. ElectricUnderpants.com
