Steve has been a guiding force at Dutko for over two decades. His significant experience in the telecommunications, technology, and financial services areas has led to leadership roles in the passage of laws ranging from the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to the Check 21 Act of 2004. Given his wide ranging experience in satellite, broadband, wireless, public broadcasting, copyright, Internet, and financial market structure issues, Steve’s influence is felt all over Capitol Hill -- in the House and Senate Commerce Committees, the House Financial Services Committee and Senate Banking Committee, and the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

Steve began his career as a legislative assistant to Senator John Heinz (R-PA) in the early 1980s. Subsequently, he lobbied for a series of communications companies culminating in his appointment as a Vice President at Dutko and Associates in 1985. As one of Dutko Worldwide's original founders, Steve has held a series of management posts at the firm starting with his appointment as a partner in 1987. He subsequently was named President and CEO of the company until 1998, and CEO until 2003.

Steve has built Dutko Worldwide into one of the preeminent lobbying firms for telecommunications, technology, and financial services, focusing specifically on the inter-relationship between Congress, the Administration, and the independent agencies.
