About Us

Steve joined our team in 2008, as a Director of Out-Licensing to support technologies in the areas of oncology, life science, veterinary science, and biomedical engineering. In 2021, Steve became the Director of Licensing to lead licensing efforts and agreement compliance in addition to managing his technology portfolio. During his time at CSU STRATA, Steve has developed many strategic alliances and assisted with the initiation of several CSU startups founded on CSU-owned IP from his portfolio. Through the CSUV Ambassador program, Steve works to train graduate students and post-docs in general aspects of technology transfer, leverage their presence on campus to promote understanding and awareness of technology transfer, and to identify innovative projects. Finally, Steve was an initial cofounder and remains one of the driving forces of the Innovation Symposium, now knows as Demo Day – the annual innovation event held by CSU STRATA to celebrate and highlight the incredible innovation coming out of CSU.
