A lifelong student of history, Steve has visited more than 30 major historical sites, including 15 presidential homes, libraries, and museums. He is currently writing a book on U.S. presidents and innovation and has written a feature-length screenplay about the Korean War.
Steve has a deep interest in Korean War history and in honoring the veterans who served, including his father, a Marine who fought in the Chosin Reservoir campaign. This personal connection informs his commitment to preserving historical memory and elevating stories that might otherwise be overlooked.
Professionally, Steve held senior leadership roles at Visa, Citigroup, J.P. Morgan, and other financial services firms, with experience spanning finance, strategy, and innovation. Today, he runs his own consulting practice alongside his work in history, research, and writing.
