He brings a strong business and entrepreneurial background to the team. As a graduate from Texas A & M with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, he began his career at Compaq Computer where he discovered his passion for product management and strategic planning, which he later refined at IBM and Dell. Steve likewise made private equity investments in advanced technology for Dell Ventures, as well as developed a successful advisory firm in strategic marketing and business development. He also served as CEO of NovaCenrtix, Corp, a venture-backed nano-materials technology company.

Steve joined the WaterStone team to enrich its vision and capabilities in meeting donor needs. His apprenticeship in Christian stewardship as a donor and an influencer of other families of wealth eminently qualifies him for that task. His product design and marketing background positions him well to deliver innovative product and service to advance donor’s Kingdom objectives. His professional background indicates a long-term passionate commitment to excellence, which dovetails with WaterStone’s on-going commitment to be at the cutting edge of innovation in asset transformation.
