Steve embarked on his formal writing journey in 2022, a year that marked the beginning of his purposeful endeavor to use the power of words to influence and inspire. His debut book, Welcome to Earth, which saw the light of publication in 2023, signified a critical milestone in his career. Steve believed that his work deserved to be shared with the wider world because he felt a profound sense of responsibility to address the brokenness and division that characterize contemporary society.
With a deep-seated conviction that it doesn’t have to be this way, Steve has dedicated himself to a mission of spreading awareness through his unique brand. This brand, envisioned to foster “Human Unity”, offers an array of merchandise, including T-shirts, ball caps, and hooded sweatshirts. Each item is more than just a piece of clothing; they are symbols of Steve’s commitment to promoting unity and togetherness among people from all walks of life.
Currently, Steve is putting the finishing touches on the manuscript of his second book, Welcome to the Human Brain. This forthcoming work is anticipated to delve deeper into the complexities of human thought and behavior, furthering his mission to enlighten and unite. Through his writing and his brand, Steve continues to work tirelessly toward a future where human unity is not just an ideal but a reality.
Holding no formal degree from an accredited institution, besides his Class A CDL and high school honors diploma, Steve draws insight from personal experience and intellectual curiosities. From deep studies in religion (Christianity) as a youth, to overcoming major mental illness and personal life struggles, he’s accumulated a unique collection of practical knowledge and wisdom that he eagerly wants to share with readers who seek guidance, comfort, and personal growth. Through his genuine voice and relatable experiences, Steve aspires to reach out to individuals from diverse backgrounds, offering them a sense of hope and a path toward personal enlightenment and unity. His endeavor is self-funded, with his primary source of income coming from working as a Warehouse Group Leader and Class A CDL driver.
Having grown up and finally settling down near Cleveland, OH, Steve cherishes his family life with his wife and two grown sons—one diagnosed with autism and the other serving as a U.S. Marine. In his rare moments of leisure, Steve enjoys drumming, gardening, participating in outdoor sports, and working toward earning his private pilot’s certificate. Despite his busy schedule, he remains committed to finding time for these pursuits, which bring him joy and balance.
Steve O’Connell, a proponent of the human race, is best known for his simple, clear, impartial observations of humanity and life’s nuances. Always seeking betterment and growth through knowledge and understanding, he loves writing with the purpose of bringing people together, encouraging his human family to embrace real freedom—the freedom they innately desire.
