Bio
Kevin Corcoran, PMP
Steve has one of the most sought after traits in any employee - passion. Steve is extremely passionate about climate change and that translates directly to his ability to work hard, and get difficult tasks completed. I worked with Steve for 3 years during which he worked his way up from engineering intern to project manager. He was able to move up so quickly because he was always professional, attentive, and willing to improve and learn every single day. For these reasons, I highly recommend Steve because he would be a valuable asset on any team.
