He has at separate times in his career been put on a performance plan for not meeting goal and has been one of the highest producing bankers bank-wide.

Professional interests include sales, credit risk management, strategic planning, cross-division collaboration, enterprise management, and winning cultures. In his spare time, Steve enjoys participating on the board of his local Risk Management Association Chapter, playing tennis, hiking, and spending time with his partner, Evangelynn, and his young son.
