Decades after graduating (B.A., Branford ’74), Yale still astonishes Steve. As Senior Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Association of Yale Alumni (YAA), Steve has launched Yale’s Cross Campus online community, facilitated leadership forums, taught financial literacy, organized alumni-led skill-building events, and designed mentorship programs pairing thousands of Yalies every semester. He also serves as Trustee for the Yale College Council.

As Branford College Resident Fellow since 2012, Steve lives among students right here on campus. For relaxation, Steve loves outdoors activities in the Adirondacks. Joining KPMG after graduating from Yale, and then earning his Master's Degree (NYU/Stern) and CPA at night, led Steve to a long career as a US leader of KPMG Corporate Finance; and then to a private investment bank as Managing Director and eventually Chief Operating Officer. And, in 2011, finally back to Yale! Steve has led KPMG client merger/acquisition seminars, served on public and private corporate boards (including a solar firm, a rustic resort, a chain of 17 newspapers, and manufacturers), and has advised clients (and/or testified as an expert) in complex financial matters. Steve is a grateful and lucky Yale parent: Rebecca (Branford ’07) and Max (Branford ’09; MusM ’11). Their roles in Out of the Blue made Steve into a huge fan of Yale singing groups. Steve also loves books, traveling, racket sports, and game-playing. After serving as Yale's Fencing Captain, Steve competed nationally and internationally for another decade, earning five national championships in team saber.
