When he was six months old, his family relocated to Brazil due to his father's job as president of the South American division of Pepsi-Cola, and Steve-O stated in an interview with Graham Bensinger that his first words were in Portuguese. His family was continuously on the move, disrupting his education in kindergarten, elementary and middle school.

From Brazil, his family changed location to Venezuela where he learned Spanish. At age four, back to the U.S., first to Darien, Connecticut{{cite news|url=https://dailyvoice.com/connecticut/darien/neighbors/happy-birthday-to-dariens-steve-o/464433/|title=Happy Birthday to Darien's Steve-O|date=June 6, 2014|newspaper=Daily Voice|access-date=January 22, 2022|archive-date=January 23, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220123025742/https://dailyvoice.com/connecticut/darien/neighbors/happy-birthday-to-dariens-steve-o/464433/|url-status=live}} and two years later, to Miami. At age nine, to London. At age twelve, to Toronto and at age thirteen, back to London, attending The American School in London. At sixteen, he started to experiment with drugs, notably LSD and marijuana, narrowly graduating with his high school diploma in 1992.Steve-O: The Early Years DVD (2004)

Whilst most of his cohort went on to attend Ivy League institutions, Glover opted for the University of Miami, School of Communication, where he first became known as Steve-O but dropped out in November 1993, as a sophomore, following poor grades, erratic class attendance and incidents of disobedience at the university.{{Citation|title=Steve-O's Worst Injury Revealed!| date=November 19, 2012 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbr_5D5jqeo| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211107/Zbr_5D5jqeo| archive-date=2021-11-07 | url-status=live|language=en|access-date=March 16, 2020}}{{cbignore}}{{cite AV media | date=April 2, 2021 | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUTayyXFwaw | title=Why They Call Me "Steve-O" | time=1:23 | via=YouTube }}

The next 3 years were spent as a semi-homeless, couch-surfer. Glover filmed his own stunts in Miami and, in one particularly ominous episode in 1995, landed on his face on concrete after throwing himself off a second-floor balcony. He broke seven teeth, fractured his cheekbone with ten stitches on his chin, a concussion, and a broken wrist.{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1xrjeq/steveo_here/cfdzakr|title=officiallysteveo comments on Steve-O here|date=February 12, 2014|publisher=Reddit.com|access-date=May 14, 2014|archive-date=August 30, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150830005435/https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1xrjeq/steveo_here/cfdzakr|url-status=live}}

Struggling with alcohol addiction, Steve-O was arrested for his first DUI, attending rehab 'Pathways to Recovery' in Florida. His second DUI in 1996 led him to serve 10 days in jail and placed on probation. The budding stunt performer decided to move to Albuquerque and enrolled at the University of New Mexico from 1996 to 1997 and later the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College in Sarasota, Florida, between 1997 and 1998.{{cite news|url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost/access/272613411.html?dids=272613411:272613411&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Dec+31%2C+2002&author=&pub=The+Washington+Post&desc=Steve-O%3A+Jackass+in+the+Flesh%2C+and+Blood&pqatl=google|title=Steve-O: Jackass in the Flesh, and Blood|date=December 31, 2002|newspaper=The Washington Post|access-date=October 15, 2009|archive-date=October 23, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121023041855/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost/access/272613411.html?dids=272613411:272613411&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Dec+31,+2002&author=&pub=The+Washington+Post&desc=Steve-O:+Jackass+in+the+Flesh,+and+Blood&pqatl=google|url-status=dead}}

After finishing clown college, he was turned down by the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and found employment as a clown in a circus at the Fort Lauderdale Swap Shop flea market as well as stints on cruise ships, with Royal Caribbean International. He continued to film his own stunts, including clown performances, throughout this period.

While performing in the flea market circus, Steve-O began sending videos of himself to Big Brother magazine editor and future Jackass director Jeff Tremaine. Once the connection was made Steve-O began to work on MTV's television series Jackass, which became an instant hit.{{cite news|url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/access/69789149.html?dids=69789149:69789149&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Mar+18%2C+2001&author=ROBIN+RAUZI&pub=Los+Angeles+Times&desc=Cover+Story%3B+Not+Such+a+Dumb+Stunt+After+All%3B+As+MTV%27s+%27Jackass%27+takes+heat+from+politicians%2C+Johnny+Knoxville+is+moving+his+career+beyond+the+hit+show%27s+gross-out+pranks.&pqatl=google|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130201073353/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/access/69789149.html?dids=69789149:69789149&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Mar+18,+2001&author=ROBIN+RAUZI&pub=Los+Angeles+Times&desc=Cover+Story;+Not+Such+a+Dumb+Stunt+After+All;+As+MTV's+'Jackass'+takes+heat+from+politicians,+Johnny+Knoxville+is+moving+his+career+beyond+the+hit+show's+gross-out+pranks.&pqatl=google|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 1, 2013|title=Not Such a Dumb Stunt After All;|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=March 18, 2001|first=Robin|last=Rauzi|access-date=October 15, 2009}} MTV has subsequently released seven movies based on the series: Jackass: The Movie (2002), Jackass Number Two (2006), direct-to-video release Jackass 2.5 (2007), Jackass 3D (2010), direct-to-video release Jackass 3.5 (2011), Jackass Forever (2022), and Jackass 4.5 (2022).

In 2003, Steve-O toured Europe with Bam Margera, a friend and co-star of Jackass. On May 22, 2003, Steve-O was arrested and jailed while in Sweden due to footage of him swallowing a condom containing cannabis to get it past authorities while flying on a plane. He then regurgitated it live on stage, which he showed in his DVD Steve-O: Out on Bail (aka Don't Try This at Home – The Steve-O Video Vol. 3: Out on Bail). Steve-O reached a deal with the Swedish prosecutors and was released on May 27, 2003, after paying a fine of 45,000 kronor (equal to about US$5,800 at the time).

As part of the plea bargain Steve-O admitted to possessing one ecstasy tablet and five grams of marijuana, although he claimed he had no knowledge of where the ecstasy came from.{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2003-05-23-jackass-arrest_x.htm|title='Jackass' star arrested in Sweden|work=USA Today|date=May 27, 2003|access-date=October 15, 2009|archive-date=May 3, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100503001039/http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2003-05-23-jackass-arrest_x.htm|url-status=live}} The Swedish arrest was included in the third installment of the DVD series titled Steve-O: Out on Bail.

After Jackass ended, he co-starred with Chris Pontius on MTV's Wildboyz, which lasted four seasons from 2003 until 2006. The two performed stunts and acts with animals, often putting themselves in situations for which they were not trained.

In 2007, Steve-O starred in his own television show called Dr. Steve-O on the USA Network. In the show, he helped make his guests cool and "de-wussify" them. That same year he appeared in Jackass 2.5, which mainly consisted of material that did not appear in the second Jackass movie. Additionally, he appeared with some Jackass alumni in National Lampoon's TV: The Movie.

On February 25, 2008, he appeared on The Howard Stern Show with Howard Stern, Robin Quivers and Artie Lange on Sirius Satellite Radio to promote his upcoming rap album Hard as a Rock.

During the live broadcast Steve-O was kicked out of MTV studios on the request of executives for his behavior and intoxication.

Bipolar Disorder Diagnosis

On March 9, 2008, after receiving an email from Steve-O that suggested his possible suicide, Steve-O's friends, including co-star Johnny Knoxville, became concerned he was a danger to himself and consulted with physician Drew Pinsky, who told them to get Steve-O to a hospital immediately. Steve-O was placed on a 72-hour psychiatric hold which was later lengthened to 14 days due to an alleged suicide attempt and he was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder.{{cite news|url=http://www.baltimoresun.com/zap-steveohospitalizedcocainepossession,0,115652.story|title='Jackass' Star Steve-O Hospitalized|work=The Baltimore Sun|date=March 13, 2008|access-date=October 15, 2009|archive-date=December 17, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131217221338/http://www.baltimoresun.com/zap-steveohospitalizedcocainepossession,0,115652.story|url-status=dead}}

In March 2009, Steve-O was on the eighth season of Dancing with the Stars, paired with Lacey Schwimmer. After the first week, he complained of pinched nerves and back spasms and did not compete in the second week after injuring his back further by falling on his microphone pack during dress rehearsal. The judges based their scores on his performance at the dress rehearsal.{{cite web |url=http://www.usmagazine.com/news/steve-o-sits-out-of-dancing-with-the-stars-due-to-back-injury-2009163 |title=Celebrity News: Latest Celeb News & Celebrity Gossip |work=Us Weekly |access-date=May 14, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090420081400/http://www.usmagazine.com/news/steve-o-sits-out-of-dancing-with-the-stars-due-to-back-injury-2009163 |archive-date=April 20, 2009 }} He was eventually eliminated in the sixth week of the competition.

On May 3, 2009, MTV premiered a documentary titled Steve-O: Demise and Rise about how his life was affected by the use of drugs and alcohol.{{cite news|url=http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/steve_o/series.jhtml|title=Steve-O: Demise and Rise|publisher=MTV|year=2009|access-date=October 15, 2009|archive-date=September 18, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090918161601/http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/steve_o/series.jhtml|url-status=dead}} The show featured home-made video footage of Steve-O using drugs and vandalizing his apartment. In an August 2009 interview with Johnny Knoxville for The Times-Picayune, Knoxville on the topic of Steve-O's recovery and rehabilitation said "He's taking to sobriety like he took to drugs and alcohol, I'm very proud of him. I think we'll see him doing some stuff here really soon. As a matter of fact, I know we are."{{cite news|url=http://www.nola.com/movies/index.ssf/2009/08/johnny_knoxville_jackass_star.html|title=Johnny Knoxville: 'Jackass' star Steve-O almost ready to dive back into his work|newspaper=The Times-Picayune|date=August 4, 2009|first=Mike|last=Scott|access-date=September 1, 2009|archive-date=December 16, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181216163348/https://www.nola.com/movies/index.ssf/2009/08/johnny_knoxville_jackass_star.html|url-status=live}} He later stated "Something's coming. We're pretty excited ... I think it'll be a big year next year, but I don't want to talk about it yet."

Steve-O later told Comedy Digital Radio station Barry that he has never seen the MTV documentary. "When I saw the footage of myself doing drugs I felt like I could see them, I could taste them. It made me crave them and as embarrassing as that footage is, that just seemed like another reason to get high. I couldn't watch it; I haven't watched it since then. The producers put it all together and finished it up without any input for me, it's better that way."{{cite web |url=http://www.barry.com.au/2011/05/18/exclusive-steve-o-interview/ |title=Steve O Interview - Barry Digital Radio |access-date=May 31, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725133537/http://www.barry.com.au/2011/05/18/exclusive-steve-o-interview/ |archive-date=July 25, 2011 }}

On September 13, 2011, during a taping of the Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen, Steve-O joked, "The last time this many nobodies were at a roast, at least Great White was playing".

Steve-O spoke about his family life on the September 2, 2020, episode 261 of the podcast TigerBelly with Bobby Lee and Khalyla Kuhn. Steve-O reveals that his mother suffered an aneurysm on October 10, 1998, which was before his rise to fame. Steve-O stated that she suffered major cognitive and physical disability as a result of the aneurysm, and died in 2003.TigerBelly (Podcast), Episode 261: Steve-O Lasts 431 days. September 2, 2020.

On the TigerBelly podcast, Steve-O describes his father taking a moment outside the hospital to express regret for not fully supporting Steve-O's unconventional career path. Up to that point, Steve-O had not yet seen the success that the Jackass series would bring, and was a contrast to the corporate leadership career his father followed.

He stated that "being vegan, I can tell you, has benefited every single area of my life".{{cite web|url=http://suicidegirls.com/interviews/Johnny+Knoxville+and+Steve-O%3A+Jackass+3D|title=Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O: Jackass 3D|publisher=SuicideGirls.com|date=October 15, 2010|access-date=December 8, 2009|archive-date=October 25, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101025022330/http://suicidegirls.com/interviews/Johnny+Knoxville+and+Steve-O%3A+Jackass+3D/|url-status=live}} After the Jackass 3D stunt involving a ram (during which he injured his hand), he has expressed some concern about doing stunts in the future that "mess with animals."
