“Steve's experience in the corporate and entrepreneurial world provided valuable insight into how best to proceed in my career. I have been able to position myself better in this ever changing job market because of him.”
Jonathan Birkey,
Engineer
"When I transitioned from the military into corporate America, I entered the workforce older than many of my peers and with leadership experience that wasn’t always obvious on paper. Steve recognized that early and gave me opportunities to prove myself and provide real value, rather than viewing me solely as a junior engineer."
Alex Andresen,
Engineer
"He knew that I aspired to work on space projects, and even though it meant losing me from his team, he actively helped me transition to those opportunities. I have seen him do the same for other engineers on his team as well. He is someone who is genuinely committed to helping people, and that is a rare and valuable quality. I am deeply grateful for his support."
Marc Gaddis,
Director of Engineering
"With a focus on helping individuals discover their unique talents and aligning them with the right opportunities, Steve is set to make a significant impact on those he mentors. His compassionate and insightful approach is sure to foster successful careers and fulfilling lives for those fortunate enough to learn from him."
Jerry Morrow,
Engineer
"Professionally, he’s always been a striver — someone who genuinely enjoys leading teams and elevating the people around him. He’s the opposite of the stereotypical ego-driven manager. Instead, he leads like a coach: acknowledging talent, giving credit freely, and investing in people’s growth. I’ve seen him meet colleagues navigating personal challenges with patience, compassion, and understanding. He knows what it means to face difficulty, and he uses those experiences to be a better leader and a better human being."
Blase Horn,
Boulderer
""As a young engineer, Steve helped me find the problems I enjoyed solving and guided me through identifying what brought me joy and fulfillment. He scoured his network and resources to provide opportunities that aligned with my growth and interests. Over the years, he became a confidante and friend and provided me support for other facets of my life too - finances, personal goals, and life decisions.""

Product Manager
