Steven was born in Beckley, West Virginia and moved to Valdese, North Carolina at the age of four. Growing up in a working class family, Steven learned the value of hard work at an early age, which for him, manifested itself in baseball. Steven pitched throughout his childhood and high school, then at Surry Community College before receiving a full scholarship to Florida International University in Miami, Florida. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in Sports Management, Steven signed as a free agent with the Washington Nationals. He continued his career in baseball until 2011 when he moved back to Burke County and met his wife, Jamie. The two were married in 2013 and reside in Lenoir with their two sons, Ty and Andy. In 2013, he began selling insurance and in 2018 opened Stewart & Associates as an independent broker.

In his spare time, he enjoys coaching his son’s football, basketball, and baseball teams as well as spending time with friends and family.

Jamie grew up in Lenoir and never really left the town she loves. After graduating from Hibriten High School, she attended Lenoir- Rhyne College and received a bachelor’s degree in Art Education. She taught high school art for sixteen years before making the switch to insurance. Growing up with parents who owned a family business made her want to help Steven at Stewart & Associates.

She loves watching her boys in sports, volunteering at their schools, and simply being their Mom |
