Steve Sabo was born in Ohio but has traveled the world. Although writing was always a passion, he made his career as a stand up comedian, performing in 46 of the 50 states, several countries and four islands. When he was younger he enjoyed thrill sports such as sky-diving, cliff-diving and bungi-jumping but you are much more likely to find him curled up with a good book nowadays. He enjoys watching UFC events and John Cusack movies. He performed for the troops in Iraq and Kuwait. He is an extroverted introvert and still enjoys rocking out at a concert whenever possible.
