Alert-All, a fire safety education company, published one of his pictures as a fire prevention poster. Steve's photos are featured in textbooks such as Fundamentals of Firefighter Skills and Fire Officer Principles and Practice by the National Fire Protection Association and Intermediate Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.  The January-February 2004 edition of Industrial Fire World Magazine included Steve's photos of the August 4, 2003 fire at the Jim Beam warehouse in Bardstown.  Steve’s pictures are used by universities throughout the United States in programs that prepare nursing and EMT students for some of the emergencies they will face on the job. The Louisville Medical Center’s trauma teams have used specific MVC photos for educational purposes in order to compare patients’ injuries to the vehicles in which they were trapped.
