About Steve

My vision? A world where successful small businesses are the rule, not the exception.

I know success looks different to every entrepreneur because we're all different.

30 years of small business experience has given me two guiding principles for my practice.

  • The business environment is always changing, and it is challenging to ensure that your business is always aligned with your goals.

  • Business owners are oftentimes experts in fields outside of business.

I developed Business BeyonDIY to help entrepreneurs make their way confidently by focusing their actions and improving their results.

Why me?

Experience

For over 30 years I have been starting and running small businesses through all levels of success. I have made and recovered from every mistake and throughout the process developed the problem-solving skills necessary to take a business from struggling to successful.

Knowledge

I have a degree in business management from Colorado State University and consider myself a lifelong learner. I’m always studying and seeking out new information on business strategy and success. You can see the fruits of my research through my extensive library of blog posts and podcasts [link here].

Passion

Throughout my life, business has been my passion. I’m an entrepreneur at heart. Starting from the age of 19, through my years in the Navy and 25 years of working hands-on, I’ve never been able to resist the pull of business. No matter the situation, I can’t help but see the potential in how to make a business or organization run more successfully.
