Personal life

But at the age of 24, moved to Los Angeles which proved to be a defining moment of his life. He first found employment at Universal Studios Theme Park working as Frankenstein, but soon found himself in an on-screen role due to his towering stature.[5] Steele has participated in multiple ultra-distance, self-supported cycling races, including the Tour Divide mountain bike race and the Trans Am Bike Race.
