The ex-military man’s incorporation of skills learnt in the army, partnered with the principles of CrossFit form his own unique style of training - ‘Get Commando Fit’.
As the oldest of four boys growing up in Queensland, Steve was always self-reliant and very physical. After finishing school, Steve joined the army where he was given the structure and direction he craved. Learning to push beyond physical and psychological barriers helped to build his focus and determination. He spent over a decade rising up the ranks of the Australian Special Forces, eventually becoming a Counter Terrorism Team Commander.
Qualifications that Steve acquired in the Special Forces include parachuting on land and water, fast driving, weapons, close quarter battle, confined spaces, survival, helicopter - fast roping and airborne rappelling, amphibious operator and small boat handler, demolitions. In his own words “There is no place on this earth that I would not be able to survive. Uncomfortably yes but survive definitely!”
