Steven was born in Charleston, West Virginia into and Air Force family and is proud to be called a military brat. He traveled the country and the world following his father during his career as an Air Force Sergeant. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy on June 5, 1974 having majored in math and was selected for the Navy Nuclear Power program following a successful interview with Admiral Rickover. He earned his gold dolphins aboard the USS Los Angeles (SSN-688) which was the lead ship in the Navy’s fleet of attack submarines. He served on operational deployments to the Mediterranean Sea, as well as the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans with stops in Spain, Italy, Bahama, Virgin Islands, Panama Canal, Pearl Harbor, Guam, Philippines, Mauritius, and even beautiful, downtown Diego Garcia. His civilian career involved safety and risk evaluations of nuclear power plants for the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), the civilian nuclear power industry in the United States and Canada, and government service with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff. He obtained a master’s degree in electrical engineering via the GI Bill while working full time at the INL. He resides in Ashburn, Virginia in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. with his wife Barbara who has managed to put up with him for over 26 years. He has six children (including a set of triplets), five grandchildren and a 95-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback named Sunstone’s Jasiri (Jazz) who likes to hog most of the space on the bed. He is passionate about story-telling in general and the subject of leadership in particular. Steve believes that leaders are made, not born, and that teaching others how to lead is the most rewarding and vital occupation anyone can participate in. Steve can be reached any time at [email protected] to talk about leadership and swap sea stories. Of course, you must understand the difference between sea stories and fairy tales. Fairy tales all begin with “Once upon a time” while sea stories always begin with “This is no BS.” After that, they are identical.Get more info on Steven HERE: https://powerof3leadership.com/If you like what we do (and if you don't!) you could always buy us a kofi! https://ko-fi.com/autimaginationWE LOVE OUR SPONSORS!! Thurocleanfl.com AND OUR NEW BABY an LGBQT and ND owned and operated small business using vegan and organic products to bring you phenomenal smells! Hexennacht.comCheck out Autimagination's affilliates and get 10% off or more using our PROMO CODESNerdyNuts.com PROMO CODE PUPDUFFY10Multitasky.com PROMO CODE PupDuffyJustStrong.com PROMO CODE PupStrong10Eat Your Vitamins!
