Principal Civil Engineer
I am a lifelong Alaskan with over 20 years of civil and hands-on construction experience throughout Alaska. I enjoy the adventure of traveling around the state and working closely with local stakeholders to improve the quality of life for Alaskans. I strive not only to meet the needs of those clients and communities but also to understand what they enjoy and to enjoy life with them. I have learned that knowing people is the key to making life and work more enjoyable.
Steven joined Devise in 2026 as a principal to begin and build the civil engineering design and construction management services team.
