Upon graduation of high school, he joined the Navy and worked as a corpsman at Naval Hospital in Annapolis, Maryland during the Vietnam War.
After one year of service, Sidney attended Westminister and Tarkio College in Missouri and obtained a bachelors degree in English studies. After achieving his bachelors, he attended Oxford University in England and Northwest Missouri State University to obtained his masters degree in Literature studies.
After finishing his masters degree, he married his college sweetheart, Debbie Stepp. During the early years of their marriage, Sidney worked for the Saudi government to teach English at King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. During his stay, Sidney was gifted with his first son, Aaron Stepp.

He and his family lived there for ten years before he obtained permission to open a home office back in Clinton, TN.
