Early life and career

Steck is the son of Ernest, a high school athletic director, and Roselyn, a middle school teacher. He played varsity football and graduated the valedictorian of his class from The Albany Academy in 1977. He earned a degree in Government from Harvard University in 1981 and a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1984. In college, he interned on the staff of Congressman Ben Rosenthal. For several years after college, he worked as an assistant district attorney in New York and Rensselaer Counties. He then entered private practice for the Capital District law firm of Cooper Erving & Savage where he has worked ever since.

Political career

His political career began in 1999 when he was elected to the Albany County Legislature where he served three terms.

In 2008, he contended unsuccessfully for New York's 21st congressional district, but lost in the Democratic primary.[1][2][3]
