About the Author

Steve founded the Nature Based Leadership Institute at Antioch University New England while serving as that institution's president-his third university presidency and eighth university. He preceded his thirty-two years in higher education with a dozen years in the paper and allied-products manufacturing industry where, among other assignments, he conducted tree-nutrition and forest-fertilization research for four years and served another two years in the Corporate Office of Environmental Affairs. As Alabama region land manager in 1981-84, he oversaw operations on the company's five hundred square miles of forestland across thirty-two Alabama counties. He has a bachelor's degree in forestry and a doctorate in natural resources management. Steve and Judy (his wife since June 1972) reside in the Tennessee Valley region of northern Alabama. Steve's ultimate intent is to enhance lives and enterprise success, even as he sows the seeds for responsible earth stewardship.
