About
Before entering the nonprofit sector, Steve worked as a freelance art director with brands including Allergan, Amgen, and Masimo, supporting identity and marketing initiatives. Driven to leave corporate America and make a direct impact, he shifted to philanthropy, focusing on animal welfare and saving dogs that were about to be euthanized. For the past 15 years, Steve has led major donor engagement, corporate campaigns, digital marketing/email campaigns, and sponsorship development. Prior to consulting with other nonprofits, he served as CMO and Director of Operations at The Little Red Dog, the largest rescue in Southern California.
Steve holds a Bachelor of Science in Engineering and Mathematics from the University of Southern California and is, somewhat uniquely, a certified dog trainer in the state of California.
