Started in 2012 Aim For The Engine (AFTE) began as a three piece high energy, post-punk rock band from San Diego, Ca.

Steve recruited long time friend Jeremy Lee (bass/vox) and AFTE was born. The idea was simple, to play music we love and have fun doing it. AFTE rocked as a three piece for three years playing San Diego venues such as The Kensington Club, The Casbah, House of Blues, The Tower Bar, Last Call, Til Two Club, The Void, and Main Tap.
