 When Steele was six, he was shot point-blank with a pellet gun in the head.After being in a coma for ten days after the pellet passed through his brain, he recovered but he now swings his left leg forward from his hip when he walks; his left arm and hand, though usable, curl from his elbow and his fingers often ball into a fist.Steele is married to Kellie Kursar and lives in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
