During that time, he advanced into a lead role for two years, supervising crews and coordinating field operations. Steven later transitioned into the sales side of the industry where he quickly advanced from Sales Representative to Sales Lead, and eventually Branch Manager for one of the largest boiler service companies in the country, a position he held for 2.5 years before relocating.
