From Humble Beginnings
The son of Greek Cypriot refugees, Steve's story is one of resilience and opportunity. His parents arrived in Australia in 1976 after the conflict in Cyprus, building a new life from the ground up.
Born in Erskineville and raised in Penshurst, Steve grew up in a hardworking family. His mother a seamstress, and his father a factory worker. These humble beginnings instilled in him a strong work ethic and a deep respect for everyday Australians.
Steve's values were shaped early through a strong local education. Growing up, he attended local schools close to home - including St Mary's Catholic School, Penshurst Public School, Hurstville Boys High, and Peakhurst High, where he learned the importance of hard work and looking out for your community.
