Overview
Steve’s commitment to his program and the IT profession shows in winning more than six national awards along with being invited to the White House on June 30, 2015 for CTE’s “Excellence in Action” Award. With a program that is committed to excellence in IT, Steve continues to stay abreast on changes in IT security while modifying the curriculum for students.
While educating more than 60+ students annually for seventeen years, Steve is responsible for delivering content at the main campus while streaming to 20 other students at a remote location. Delivery of the materials is not only by in-person and live streaming but also he makes an effort to visit and deliver content in-person to the remote campus. Content from the program is not just based on theory, but on the student’s ability to perform real world hands-on in the security realm.
