Name: Steve Hilger
Nickname: aka Porky
Age: 51
Hometown: Brookfield, WI
Years Playing Darts: 32 Years Soft Tip, 7 years Steel Tip
Family: Allie & I have been together for 19 years and have 2 daughters together, Camille (18) and Xyla (11) and Allie's son Ryen (23). We also share the house with 2 cats (Coco and Bear). In our free time we love taking and planning road trips, hiking, playing darts and board games. Our goal is to visit every National Park in the Country.
Personal Bio: I was born in the Philippines, and we moved to the United States in 1978 when I was 5yrs old. I grew up on the North side of Milwaukee and attended Vincent HS until my Senior year in which I attended Germantown HS. 2 weeks later I left for Basic Training for the US Marine Corps and served from 1992-2000. I was introduced to darts in 1993 while serving and in 1996, I became an avid league and tournament player. Over the years I have traveled to almost every State in the USA to compete. I am still very active on and off the board. You can find me commentating on live events, interviewing players at events and doing my own segment called “Adventures with Porky” with the USA Darts crew. You won’t know it, but I have been helping promote and coordinate well known and brand-new tournaments around the Country for the last 15+ years. A goal of mine is to be that bridge between the players and the corporations that organize events which I believe I am on the right track. I’ve always said that the more we work together as a team, the better the dart world will be as a whole. Short term goals for me along with my awesome sponsors and the support of some great friends is to establish a youth darts academy in the area in both soft and steel tip. Stay tuned for what is in the works.
