Steve brings a rare mix of small-town grounding and big-brand experience to everything he does. Raised in a North Carolina town of just 150 people, he learned early on the value of trust, connection, and showing up—principles he’s put to good use throughout his 30+ year career across San Francisco, Atlanta, Denver, and Orange County. Along the way, he’s worked with brands ranging from global tech leaders to nationally recognized healthcare organizations and household-name consumer brands. Steve’s favorite part of this business is that he’s never bored. From collaborating with clients to empowering the creative team, this industry always keeps him thinking and growing. Outside the office, he’s a big fan of virtually all dogs, UNC basketball, his beautiful wife and kids, and the Oxford comma—not necessarily in that order.
