In this role, he executes end-to-end acquisition processes for critical maintenance, repair, and operational support services, with a primary focus on aircraft parts, auxiliary equipment, and air transportation support activities.

A strong advocate for small business participation, Steven consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with 45% of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses.
