Bio
David LaPorte
Steve had a number of roles with the Nature Valley Bicycle Festival. He was our first pro web master and has been an outstanding photographer. We have a number of photographers, but Steve had an eye for composition and messaging that was unmatched. Most of the photos that we used were his. Steve also has outstanding senses of functionality and design. It's uncommon to find someone that has both. Steve is the complete package.
Andy Lundquist
Working with Steve was an opportunity for which I am truly grateful. Steve is an expert visual communicator, possessing a rare blend of creative and technical skills. His portfolio of striking photographs, quality graphic design work, and advanced web development projects speak to the depth of his talent and commitment to keeping up with the latest trends in his field. Steve is always pursuing new challenges, and is highly respected for the many new initiatives that have resulted from his self-directed efforts. Steve also happens to be one of the most genuine, good-natured people you could ever hope to meet. His positive nature and ability to communicate make him a natural leader who can guide the most complex projects to successful outcomes.
