About Steve

Be kind, be curious, and make life memorable.

Curiosity is what drives us to test our limits. Through that curiosity, we eventually find what we are ultimately looking for: a state of calm.

Steve is a product of the unique environment he grew up in. His grandfather was a documentary filmmaker, photographer, and adventurer. He did the first documentary of the headhunters in Borneo and sailed from LA to Hawaii in 1959 and 1969, making films of each. His grandpa gave Steve his first camera at the age of 15 and from that moment on, Steve was hooked on using a camera to change the world.

Steve is a creative entrepreneur who is focused on showing the full extent of the human potential. He founded his first company while still in college and competing on the Arizona State University triathlon and sailing teams. Shortly after graduation, he began scaling his creative agency while also being an All World Athlete in Ironman, in the top 10% of all amateurs worldwide. The same year, Steve filmed in a documentary series, produced at Nike that ultimately received an Emmy nomination. Over the coming years, he would speak at events on the same stage as the founder of Adobe, travel internationally to tell stories with his camera, and create impactful media that generated a lot of success.

In 2020, amidst the pandemic, Steve was searching for a deeper purpose and a way to put together his passion for nature, growing up in Santa Cruz, CA, his passion for technology after commuting to high school in Silicon Valley, and media, which had been his career for over a decade. What he landed on was a media brand that would tell the stories of those that are shaping the future of our planet through the lens of sustainability. Sustainable GOAT was born. In just over three years, Steve has built an international podcast, launched a streaming series that has been seen by over 60 million people, and spoken on stage at Advertising Week New York about how to define the future of sustainability.

But most importantly, Steve is fueled by that deep desire to show the human potential. Immersed in nature in the PNW, Steve can be found swimming in the sea, running through the forest, and letting curiosity lead the way.
