Steven arrives in the IORK field as a true late starter with a story that spans continents, decades of passion, and a lifelong pull toward anything with speed. Born in Hong Kong in 1981, Steven's upbringing took him across Indonesia, the United States, China, and eventually to New Zealand, where he has called Auckland home for the past decade. That global journey shaped both his outlook and his racing style - adaptable, curious, and always willing to learn quickly under press
