Steve is thoughtful and has good follow-through in his dealings with me and my team. He looks out ahead and looks out for others. I've always found Steve to be customer-centric and personable. Steve is an asset to any organization where the intersection of customer focus and detail meet.

Beatrice Mendez-Borgman

I have had the privilege of working with Steve for over seven years on a variety of projects. In particular, the ongoing optimization of data integrity and work flows. Steve is an expert in his field. He posseses superior critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills. Steve is an innovator and highly creative. He drives for a holistic approach to problem solving; integration of the entire life cycle in addition to promoting cross-departmental collaboration. His professional demeanor is beyond reproach. Steve's positive attitude and ability to remain calm during stressful situations are remarkable. With his contageous passion, he has not only become a respected mentor, but also actively contributed to the success of others. He would be a great asset to anyone; as an individual contributor and especially as a leader.
