Steve worked as a developer and solution architect for over 25 years. During his career, Steve had the chance to work with many software development methodologies and frameworks. He started to work with Extreme Programming in the late 1990s and early 2000s, then around 2005 he was introduced to Scrum.

Steve went through a journey from not being very enthusiastic to become an agile ambassador. He learned, used, and taught classes to clients on XP, Scrum, Lean, Kanban, and various other “hybrid” versions of agile. Over the years, he also worked as a Scrum Master, Agile Consultant, Agile  Coach, and Leadership Coach. 

Steve loves teaching and coaching people, and helping them reach personal and professional goals that they did not think they would ever reach. At the age of 63, Steve decided it was time to start @Phoenix Rising Trans4mation, LLC.  His company became a full-time reality in July 2020.  His company mission is to motivate, inspire, and empower individuals and organizations to grow and evolve into their best possible selves.
