SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT
Steve Bleh
A serious history buff and pseudo-special agent invited to study, shoot and train at the FBI Citizens’ Academy – real-world scenarios, real-life tactical gear. Once spent a month in China, sans itinerary, flying by the seat of his pants (including foolishly hiking the Great Wall in flip-flops) – an all-expenses-paid reward for game-changing work done for his fraternity. Likes to watch people argue, ahem, debate – a symptom of graduating a psych major. May have an addiction to good food. And bourbon (cue the Doberman named Bulleit). Grew up working in his family’s business, and now owns two of his own. Loves adventure, especially if it’s with his college-sweetheart wife and two rambunctious boys.
