Steve attended Boyertown Area Senior High School until graduating in 1992, then attended DeSales University with a scholarship for acting. During high school and college, he played in several bands, increasing his musical knowledge. In 1995, acting in A Midsummer Night’s Dream during the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival brought him to the attention of an agent who was willing to sign him.

He became a household name after he began hosting Blue’s Clues on Nickelodeon in 1996. He continued in the role until 2002, when he introduced the audience to Donovan Patton, his replacement whom he referred to as his brother, “Joe.” Patton acted as host for the show until its cancellation in 2006.
The cancellation of Blue’s Clues was not the end for Blue and Steve.

In November 2022, Steve and Blue reunited again in the film Blue’s Big City Adventure. He received Daytime Emmy Award nominations for both Blue’s Clues and Blue’s Clues & You!
