PROFILE

Steve personally oversees the development of individual projects and oversees respective project teams in the execution of activities for the owner. From the world of design his interests evolved into project management. After his service as a US Navy pilot, he joined Bechtel in San Francisco. His work included nuclear and fossil power plants and the creation of a new city in Borneo as Senior Project Planner. Subsequently for a consulting firm, he successfully executed the work out of a contractor default on 22 projects of $500M (1981) in bonded value across the US for Travelers.

Many years of experience in project management of both design development and construction of numerous projects across the United States and in several countries overseas informs his work. Steve has a unique background in a diversity of projects that range from heavy industrial to high-value commercial and residential. In addition to building design and construction, Steve has extensive experience in pre-construction planning, land development and infrastructure related to site work development.

As a result of his official role in the 1996 UN Habitat II Conference in Istanbul, Turkey; Steve has been exploring and implementing options of bringing sustainable development practices into his work and into the mainstream of design and construction. Based on the recent Chandler project of an energy retrofit of the Princeton Club of NY, he published a white paper with Environmental Design+Construction promoting a national retrofit program that evolved into the Connecticut C-PACE Program. Steve is a guest lecturer on the subject at the New York University Shack Institute of Real Estate Center for the Sustainable Built Environment (SBE).
