Bio

Steve oversees ThayerMahan’s seabed scanning and seabed support services for our government and commercial clients. He leads the procurement, development, integration, and testing of all seabed systems.

Steve commissioned from the United States Naval Academy and served five years as a Naval Special Operations Officer. While on active duty, he led teams conducting underwater mine clearance operations and counter-WMD training in over a dozen countries. After leaving the service, Steve simultaneously pursued advanced degrees in mechanical engineering and business administration from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During his academic career, he developed a predictive algorithm for natural gas infrastructure damage, a medical device for calibrating cancer treatment equipment, and a cooling system for first responders operating in contaminated environments.

While Steve’s engineering innovations are diverse, his professional and academic experiences have always shared a common theme: to help others, and to make the world a safer place. Working to revolutionize maritime security with ThayerMahan is a continuing step in that journey.
