Born in Toledo, OH, Steve graduated from Start High School and then moved to Columbia, TN in 1978. After working in California for a number of years, Steve returned to Columbia in 1996 to start his own service company focused on quality installation of gutter systems for residential and commercial clients: A-1 Gutter Service. Through the next six years, he built his start-up into a widely-respected service organization, employing over 100 people across three different cities, performing work all over the country. A-1 Gutter Service was then purchased by QI Corporation (a division of Masco Corporation), leading Steve into the next phase of his career.
Starting with the purchase of ByPass Auto Sales in 2002, Steve began to expand his reach in Middle Tennessee, managing a small portfolio of commercial properties. Over the course of the next decade, Steve and Bostelman Realty were successful in acquiring and managing properties in Davidson, Lawrence, Maury, Rutherford, and Williamson counties. Today, his holdings comprise more than forty commercial and industrial properties, including a number of partnerships with local business owners and investors. The companies associated with Bostelman Enterprises employ over 150 individuals, bringing jobs and money back into the communities that the business serves.
Incorporated in his partnerships are commercial and residential storage facilities, offering flexible renting options, available climate-controlled units, and secured locations. Steve takes pride in caring for these investments, ensuring that they are friendly, clean, and safe. In 2010, Steve moved the head office of Bostelman Realty to its current home at 610 North Garden Street in Columbia, TN. From here, Steve oversees all of the real estate needs of the corporation, continuing his commitment to better his businesses while enhancing the communities he serves.
