Steven has built and led a team of over 220 employees across multiple business ventures and is known for his direct, high-energy approach to leadership and operations. He brings real-world, industry-specific experience to every conversation. Not theory, but tested systems that have worked inside a tent and event rental business just like the ones in this room.
