Biography

Steve founded the firm in 1985 and brings more than 40 years of professional experience, with a broad perspective gained working with engineering, construction, and real estate development companies as well as architectural firms. His responsibilities have spanned planning, schematic design, project management, and the coordination of architectural, engineering, and construction services.

He specializes in multi-unit residential housing, and the firm’s portfolio under his leadership totals more than 15,000 units, subsidized and market rate, high rise and low rise. He has also designed hotels, offices, retail, recreation facilities, and nursing homes, along with senior centers, adult day care, and housing for residents with physical, developmental, and brain injury disabilities. As a licensed professional planner, he is especially skilled at planning multi-unit sites with full infrastructure.

Steve is a recognized leader in modular and innovative building systems. In 1969 he was part of a team awarded a HUD grant to develop a building system later used for more than 30,000 units in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, and he has worked with precast, light gauge steel, and wood modular systems on projects in Europe, Mexico, Israel, and Iran.
