He was a client then and later became a business prospect when I was working for a shoppable-TV start up called SceneSave. You only need to speak with him for a few minutes to ascertain his intelligence and the wealth of media knowledge that he possesses. He's hard working, energetic, reliable and personable. Steve would be an asset to any company smart enough to hire him."
