After earning his MBA from the College of William and Mary in Virginia, Steve began his financial management career at IBM in New York’s Hudson Valley. Steve joined the Foundation in 2005 after serving in a similar role at Triangle Community Foundation, and has over 17 years of foundation and endowment management experience.

Steve oversees all aspects of the Foundation’s accounting, budgeting, operations, human resources, and finances.

Not your typical bean-counter, Steve loves working with students and enjoys the aspects of his job that allow him to go beyond the numbers. He also stays active in several area nonprofits.

Dad to three very musically talented daughters (one a Marching Tar Heel), Steve’s musical ability is largely confined to creating playlists based on his eclectic tastes, ranging from the Replacements to the XX to Lucinda Williams. Steve also enjoys tennis, skiing, and all manner of water sports.
