Steven Merck is an entrepreneur, businessman, designer, and creator, but above all, he’s an example of what can be achieved through hard work, determination, and the fearless pursuit of personal goals. What started as a teenage job with McDonald’s led to the eventual ownership of three restaurants twenty years later. An interest in real estate investments grew into multiple rental properties and a career as a successful realtor in Upstate South Carolina, and a love of home design developed into part ownership of a thriving home decor storefront and online business. Steven balances his work life with healthy doses of humor and fun, and he’s passionate about sharing his business and life experiences on his Instagram account, @KeepinUpWithSteven and on his podcast, “Who’s Driving?”
