Steve is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Grinnell College. He completed his Ph.D. at Brown University in operations research---more specifically, in the field of network equilibria. In addition to work in large-scale network equilibria, Steve is involved with the mathematical modeling of biological systems, primarily population levels of endangered species. Before coming to St. Olaf in 1985, he held summer positions with the Washington, D.C. headquarters of NASA and the Internal Revenue Service. He has also spent three summers working as an actuarial trainee. Between college and graduate school, Steve spent a year working with the Illinois Bureau of the Budget as a systems analyst. Steve was recently elected to the position of President of the Resource Modeling Association (RMA), an interdisciplinary, international professional organization using quantitative tools to better manage natural resources of all types. Steve's leisure time is spent canoeing, hiking, skiing, folk dancing, and supporting progressive politics.
