He wasn't a millionaire back then, more of a hand to mouth shoe string operation and he has suffered some serious bumps along the road but has survived. When I first met Steve he was living in a pretty old house that needed a serious face lift and couldn't afford a tv. When the speaker company was just a few years old he rented my box truck once a week to haul his speakers to UPS.
He has kept people employed when he was in serious business downfall even though he finally did have to lay some off to keep a float. He doesn't buy new cars even today for their personal use, gives a lot of money to the church and other non-profits. That went way down when his business took a serious hit too. You will never meet a more down to earth guy. His wife is the same way. I have known Steve for over 30 years and he is the one person that I know that is genuine.
