Under the umbrella of Senator Bob Bennet, Steve was a pioneer in the field of pharmaco-epidemiology where he devised methods to create scientific studies using data from Electronic Medical Records. After becoming disenchanted with the practices of the pharmaceutical industry, Steve left science to work in technology, where he became an early investor in Bitcoin. Finding that the business practices in his company of employment were just as unscrupulous as his previous work in pharma, Steve decided to leave the rat race all together.
