Steve is an outstanding manager/director of distribution. Steve's ability to enact process improvements and motivate employees has been a great asset to SmartPractice. When presented with a large project, Steve's ability to use his project management skills to break down the project into manageable and actionable pieces lends itself to success.

Scott Gohus

Steve has a thorough understanding of project management and a great attention to detail. He works with his project team to reach mutually agreed upon solutions while respecting individual opinions. I could always trust that Steve would make the right decision and for that reason required very little supervision. A great employee that I would love to work with again.
