Colleagues describe them as "Steve and I worked together at the Red Cross in both his time as a Divisional Philanthropy Officer and as a peer Chief Development Officer in the same division. We did a number of joint donor meetings in our time working together and I always appreciated how thoughtful, prepared and responsive he was to our donors' interests and needs. He is a great collaborator and sees his role as a trusted advisor -- an advocate for any need his donors have. Through his work with many Fortune 500 organizations, Steve was always well versed in effective CSR strategies and in particular was a great resource thinking through cause marketing. As a peer CDO, Steve was generous in sharing best practices, a goal-driven leader that was always a lot of fun to compete with because it was always steeped in collaboration -- helping drive all of us to create better win/win partnerships that would serve the interests and needs of our clients and donors." and "Steve is one of the most dedicated and creative fundraisers I have ever known. He quickly establishes a strong rapport with donors, prospects, and colleagues. He has an amazing ability to understand donors' interests and is very creative in finding ways to bond them to the mission and the organization. He is the best colleague I have ever had the pleasure to work with."
