Steve Wise
Principal
Steve Wise, SFS Principal, keeps his professional goals simple – and high: “Focus on efficiency, productivity and client satisfaction, and accomplish in eight hours what would take other people 12 hours.” This outlook, combined with exceptional strength in technical development and management of architectural projects, has made Steve an indispensable team member throughout his 20-year career. His expertise in team communication and coordination makes him a natural liaison between project stakeholders and facilitator of successful outcomes. Conscientious about energy and water use, highly organized (a “quirk,” he claims), and skilled at spotting both unique design details and sloppy construction, Steve’s personal goals say as much as his professional ones: “Continue improving myself as a husband, father, son, brother and friend.”
