Steve was already known as an expert at airfields when he joined Royal in the late 1980’s.  He’s continued to grow his airport expertise, and train generations of our Royal Team, through completing many fast-paced jobs in record time.  He takes particular pride in finding ways to work closely with the GC on “impossible” projects – and he’s completed a lot of them over the years at Royal.  Airports throughout the Western US look to Steve for his knowledge and ability to figure out how to get things done.

Helping his team resolve any challenges that arise has always been a priority to Steve.  His team will tell you that he’s available day or night to overcome obstacles and provide resources such as manpower, materials, equipment, or his vast experience.  He oversees the company’s field operations personnel, and develops current and future Superintendents and Foremen.  Steve believes in productivity and building projects correctly and safely.

Outside the office, Steve loves anything with wheels and speed. His current personal speed fleet includes his Harley and his Z06 Corvette, which he loves driving on the freeways or the racetrack. When he’s not traveling between airports and other projects, Steve enjoys spending time with his grandkids and his two little dogs.

“When things get tough, Royal works as team to help resolve problems. No matter the situation the executive team works together and does their best to help. Royal is my other family.”
