Throughout his 35 years of leadership, Steve passionately pursued his vision of “no-compromise” engineering simulation applied to real world products and processes. In fulfilling that vision, Steve’s primary objective was to achieve his customer’s goals and to push the capabilities of CD-adapco’s software products beyond the merely possible.

Although the company is mourning his passing, Steve’s legacy is alive in a healthy organization of talented and motivated individuals who are carrying forward his vision and continuing his customer-first business model.
