Testimonials



 “You won’t regret having Steve on your team.”


“I worked with Steve for almost a decade at the Bay Area News Group and he was solid. Jump ahead almost 8 years when I needed to hire a senior editor for the company I joined, he was the first person I thought of to do the job. We worked well together and he helped me put together an entire system and team that wrote high-quality content beautifully. He also plays golf.”

Content and Marketing Project Manager at C19 Coalition


“Steve’s experience, capability, patience, and humility made me extremely motivated to do the best job I can at AppGrooves. His profound writing abilities, years of industry experience in publications & editing, coupled with leadership in project management have been thoroughly helpful in driving the entire team forward to create content on time and performing consistently.

“Furthermore, Steve is also an incredible mentor and great friend. In fact, since day 1, Steve has been a very helpful and nurturing supervisor. Throughout my journey, he was forthcoming in helping me to grow as a teammate and also being a role model for my own personal development. When I onboarded to AppGrooves, Steve took hours at a time teaching me as much there is to know about detailed spreadsheets, KPIs, metric-tracking for enterprise articles, and about how to write excellent copy, (sometimes even on his own time!). As he knew I wanted to learn more about backlinking and improving my email strategy, Steve also offered a meeting to discuss with me how I could be more impactful and purposeful with my writing, editing it together with me line-by-line meticulously. Whenever I had concerns, Steve responded right away and even offered to re-film some of the instructions — he even follows up later in the week to make sure everything is resolved.

“A huge thank you for teaching me values of responsibility, producing high-quality work, and triple-checking. I’ll take these meaningful lessons with me for life! I’m incredibly grateful for meeting Steve and learning from a great role model and an expert like himself. You won’t regret having Steve on your team!”
