Steve has presented a variety of history programs in 100 North Dakota cities as well as throughout the region, 28 states and Washington DC. He has been a North Dakota Humanities Council traveling scholar with his presentations as Theodore Roosevelt and a North Dakota Council on the Arts artist-in-residence.
He has also appeared as Theodore Roosevelt in a 2001 documentary broadcast on The History Channel and History Channel International.
