He is a firm believer in punctuality which gets on his daughter Taryn Foster’s nerves. Steve served with Colonel Ralph Dillard during Desert Storm. Once while out on a mission, Steve saved Dillard’s life in 1995 when a flock of geese flew into their plane in Alaska, causing the plane to crash and Steve pulled an unconscious Dillard out of the wreckage and to safety. Steve has two children from his marriage with Jana, Taryn and Ryan.

Steve is flying his personal small plane with Lacey on their way to Paris to meet up with Taryn and Ryan Foster when air traffic control orders Steve to land in London due to atmospheric conditions. He calls his kids and tells them he had to land the plane in London and to stay at the apartment in Paris and he will see them in a couple of days. While driving towards Paris, a winter storm breaks out in London, and when Steve calls Dillard, Dillard tells warns him about the impending weather disaster and that in response, NATO has initiated Operation Down Under which is the evacuation of NATO personnel and their families to Australia. Steve and Lacey drive towards the Chunnel, but when they arrive the Chunnel Attendant dismisses the reservation Dillard made for them and tells Steve people have been waiting for the train since 9 am and the last one for the day is just leaving. In desperation Steve drives his car into the Chunnel when the Chunnel Guard leaves his post to help stop a riot. While Steve and Lacey are driving in the Chunnel an ice cyclone causes the Chunnel to collapse which leads to the channel pouring into the Chunnel. Steve and Lacey barely make it out of the Chunnel alive while the train they were supposed to be on and which had just left is crushed by debris. Steve contacts Dillard once more and Dillard tells him, Paris is no longer safe and he will have Steve’s kids picked up while Steve and Lacey are to get an airlift at Evreux Air Base. Lacey and Steve make it to Evreux Air Base on foot after Steve crashed the car due to heavy wind gusts. Steve is forced to pilot the helicopter when the pilot, Lieutenant “Carl” Redding is killed by a giant icicle while Redding is opening the hangar doors. Steve arrives just in time to pick his kids and Angelique up from the Eiffel tower before it collapses, but on their way to meet up with Dillard, the helicopter crashes. A group led by Dillard arrive at the crash scene and Steve and his family along with Angelique are brought safely to their transport heading to Australia.
