After over 30 years’ service with the FDIC, Steve retired in 1999. He began his career in bank supervision but spent the majority dealing with failed banks. In the latter part of his career, he was Assistant Director for Asset Disposition in Irvine, CA and Assistant Director for the Assistance Transactions Branch in Dallas, TX and Washington, DC. He returned in 2009 for two years to assist with the banking crisis working out of Dallas, TX and Jacksonville, FL.

He has a degree in Economics from Indiana University and is a graduate of the Graduate School of Banking of the South at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA. In November, 2022, Steve began graduate work in a three-year program at Duke University’s prestigious Fuqua School of Business.

INTERESTS: In November 2024, Steve attended the Jumpstart National Educators Conference where AFDICA provided $1,500 scholarships to eight financial literacy teachers to give them practical information, networking opportunities and resources that they can adopt and apply in the classroom. Other sponsors included the Federal Reserve Board, Charles Schwab, Fidelity Investments, Mass Mutual, Wells Fargo and the National Endowment for Financial Education. The scholarships provided are well worth the expenditure as these educators are the “best of the best” who genuinely want to enlighten young students.
