Steve is a Strategic Advisor at Scaled Agile, where he pursues his passion for improving people's working lives by working differently and building the future.
Steve's been in this industry longer than he cares to think about, and if you remember Fortran, TTL, 8 bit logic, and can solder, then you’re probably in his demographic. Steve started his career actually doing engineering and building cool things like telephone switches and railway signaling systems. Around the late 90s, he was seduced by the dark side of a greater salary, plus an office with a door that could close, and moved into management. There, he became interested in how ways of working and organizational culture influence enterprise outcomes. Steve has worked with a wide variety of clients using SAFe to better their way of working for nearly 15 years.
Steve has written numerous papers on agility, analysis, and software engineering. He has authored several books on analysis, including the recently published “The Rock Crusher.”
Education-wise, Steve holds a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering and is a SAFe SPCT. But, despite that, he is still an OK guy. For fun, Steve enjoys the usual West Coast lifestyle: skiing, hiking, kayaking, and complaining about housing prices. There is a nasty rumour circulating that Steve is an opera fan.
