Hi, I’m Steve

I’m a maker, a builder, an artist, and I want to create innovative digital experiences which drive results.

My Goal

I’m currently seeking a senior level marketing, eCommerce, or digital role at a domestic outdoor or sports industry brand.

My Why

I believe that through nature one finds their truth; whether in wilderness or on the field of play.
Quality, purpose-driven products empower athletes to obtain the most from their experiences – becoming  better versions of themselves.

Core Values

Remain authentically loving, compassionate, patient and respectful.

Epitomize Integrity.

Be honest. Be ethical. Be fair.

Embrace Adventure.

Curiosity + Risk = Growth

Be Purpose-driven.

Focus on meaningful actions and work with meaningful people and organizations.

We are Powerful.

Find a tribe or found a tribe – those are the only options.

Recommendations

“…I was hired as a part of Steve’s team, and he quickly took me under his wing and showed me the ropes. Steve is universally well-liked, multitalented, a strong team player, and incredibly intelligent – everything you’d hope for in a boss and coworker. But what makes Steve stand out from the rest is his innate ability to consistently go above and beyond the traditional expectations of a boss – patiently training, coaching, and mentoring me, offering support and encouragement when needed, but also giving constructive feedback to ensure I was operating at my highest potential.”
