| Steve leads
Shaw in its journeyman development of customer-oriented cradle-to-cradle solutions
to environmental concerns. Steve is active with the USGBC, the CARE Executive
Committee, TFM Green Advisory Board, and the CRI Market Issues and Sustainability
Committees. Steve conceived and led the effort to develop the 2003 EPA Presidential
Green Chemistry Challenge Award winning EcoWorx polyolefin carpet tile backing
at Shaw and continues to push Shaw’s model cradle-to-cradle environmental
statement throughout Shaw Industries.
A graduate of Montana State University, Steve considers himself an adventurous
seeker of change. Early experiences as an archeological dig volunteer, deckhand
on a Mississippi tugboat, roustabout on an offshore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico,
and a few more years in strip mining coal in Southern Montana, have given him
a unique perspective on environmental responsibilities and a deep appreciation
for the environment.
