Steve, the Professional

Steve has been a technical communicator since 1993, when he started at Compaq as a technical writer and editor.

From Compaq, Steve moved on to Interim Technology Consulting, where he worked on assignments with Chase Bank of Texas and American General Life Insurance.

Before Steve became a technical communicator, he was a reporter, writer, and editor for daily newspapers in Tyler, Texas, and Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Steve, the Employment Guy

This year, Steve took on the job of manager of the employment committee. Since monthly meetings started in September, Steve has held court at the employment committee table, where he provides employment information to technical communicators and provides counsel on job searches and resumes. Steve also moderates the employment forum on STC Houston's web site.

In November, Steve helped plan and execute the "Strategic Planning for Your Career and Life" workshop.

Steve wants non-members and visitors to STC Houston meetings to feel welcome and to participate in our community.
