Steve’s career journey in staffing began in 2000 when he joined Robert Half International as a recruiter and business development specialist. He thrived in an industry that is 100% people focused and served in various leadership roles during his time at RHI. His entrepreneurial spirit and desire to expand his operational industry knowledge, led him to join the boutique staffing firm Jackson/Wabash. The company had been in business less than 4 years, so it was the perfect challenge of helping to build a young business, while learning the operational side of a staffing firm. The firm went on to be one of the fastest growing staffing firms in Chicago as well as wining numerous awards in the industry. In 2009, after Jackson/Wabash had been sold to a Fortune 1000 company, Steve decided it was time to take his knowledge and experience in the staffing industry to a new level and he co-founded Brilliant LLC.

Harnessing his skills as a recruiter, business development specialist, manager and trainer, Steve was a key player in building Brilliant into an award-winning staffing firm that annually tripled in sales in the heart of a recession. It was this career milestone in which Steve became adept in the operations and technology side of the industry. In 2018 Brilliant was sold and while his business partners all departed, with his passion for the staffing industry, Steve decided to stay on with the private equity firm. After spending three years with the private equity firm, he started to feel the itch of needing a new challenge but wanted to remain in the staffing industry. With his experiences as a user and trainer of several staffing software’s, Steve sought out an opportunity on the solutions side of staffing. This would not only keep him in the industry, but also give him an opportunity to share his passion, knowledge and experiences of the industry with other staffing executives, leaders and business owners. Steve joined Aqore in 2021 as Vice President of Sales and Customer Retention. His wealth of knowledge and experience in the staffing industry as well as the ability to effectively assess and satisfy client needs are prime assets to Aqore's successful leadership team

Steve intently provides transparency and direct accessibility for all of Aqore’s clients, to assure the highest level of customer satisfaction. He, along with Samar and Sandeep, make it Aqore’s goal to provide a superior technology solution that outperforms the competition and provides superior customer service to exceed all customers’ needs and requirements .
