Born in Coney Island in 1944 and a Drexel University graduate, Steve’s vast experience spans from the construction of nuclear sites and the Alaskan pipeline to concrete surface protection and chemical manufacturing plants.

In 1972, his bold vision led him to establish Engineered Design Products, channeling his profound expertise into tailored chemical solutions for the manufacturing, construction, and environmental sectors.

Steve’s groundbreaking innovation led to the creation of Safe Thaw in 1982, a unique ice melt that addressed issues posed by existing products, earning its patent in 1986. Venturing further into safety solutions, he introduced Safe Paw in 1992, a formulation safe for pets, people, and properties, which secured its patent in 2010. While exploring new possibilities, 2018 marked the debut of Traction Magic followed by Walk On Ice, unparalleled traction agents for icy situations, underscoring Steve’s enduring dedication to ensuring safety.
