Volunteer since 2002 in the areas of Training, Development, and Certification.<\/p>\n
When Steve attended IACIS training in 1999, it was his first exposure to anything international.\u00a0 He was born in Delaware, a graduate of the University of Delaware, and then became a Delaware State Trooper.\u00a0 He did not expect to go anywhere or see anything new.\u00a0 His IACIS training in 1999 was his first chance to meet fellow law enforcement officers from all over the world.\u00a0 Steve was impressed with the training, the camaraderie, and the fact that the staff were all volunteers.\u00a0 It moved him to volunteer for IACIS in any way possible.\u00a0 He has worn many hats for the organization and is well known for developing advanced Mac training and instructing at the first Mac class for IACIS.<\/p>\n
Steve served over 15 years as a Delaware State Trooper, working as a detective with the Criminal Investigations Unit and then as their first full-time digital forensic examiner.\u00a0\u00a0He is now the Chief Product Officer and co-founder of SUMURI, a worldwide provider of hardware, software, training and services relating to digital evidence and computer forensics.<\/p>\n
In his spare time, Steve maintains an orphanage for abandoned Macintosh computers and small screws that are left over after removing hard drives for imaging.\u00a0 He is currently restoring two VW Vanagons to use for short weekend trips.\u00a0 He is enamored with anything retro from the \u201850s and early \u201860s, such as electronics, Atomic ranch homes, and retro cocktail recipes.\u00a0 After being influenced by other IACIS members, he has been shamed into brewing his own beer.\u00a0 Steve completed his second batch recently and is proud that no one has had to seek medical attention\u2026yet.<\/p>\n
