Steve began to develop his creativity at a young age when his work was showcased on the door of the family refrigerator. Now you can see his fusion of ideas on billboards, newspapers, television and the Internet.

Steve is a graduate of Southern Illinois University where he received a degree in visual communications. “It was incredible to walk through the same hallways as world renown alumni Primo Angeli and Buckminster Fuller,” says Burlison.

The positive reaction to his work has resulted from the development of the right formulas for buzz-worthy marketing strategies and innovative design. In 2004, Steve was awarded more first place international newspaper marketing awards than any other U.S. newspaper and finished second in the World. He has won more than 75 advertising and marketing awards in the past decade.

As an avid baseball fan, many can appreciate Steve as a key utility player on their team. His experience reaches beyond the creative. He has fit comfortably in the role of event planning, media strategies, account service and public relations.

Steve resides in Columbia with his wife Tracy who’s a gifted jeweler and a baseball fan, too.
