Steve was born in Dallas, Texas and graduated from the University of North Texas where he received a Bachelor of Business Administration in Strategic Management. He began his career in the Information Technology Industry as a consultant involved in multiple large scale projects where he led design and project management teams across varied vertical markets. The ability to successfully communicate with clients over a broad spectrum of industries naturally led him into business development and sales management roles where he has spent the last 20 years of his career.
Before joining the CMI Team in 2016, Steve has focused the better part of his career developing long lasting client relationships that have allowed him to successfully grow and manage a 16 state territory to over $35 million in annual sales. He is excited and energized about the opportunity to assist a rapidly growing organization in its efforts to expand into new markets while being a trusted advisor to his clients for years to come.
