I am a Biological Anthropologist and Data Scientist who has achieved success. He was in charge of the Repatriation Osteology Laboratory at the Smithsonian. At Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania, as well as the University of Tennessee, he held the titles of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Adjunct Professor of Anthropology and Data Science. After he retired, he continued to be involved in research. The number of his articles and grants was quite high.
Steve enjoyed conducting research with his coworkers and going to museums all around the world. He co-created FORDISC, the global forensic standard, with his close friend and the professor who supervised his PhD program, Richard Jantz. He made significant contributions to the fields of anthropology and forensic studies, namely in the areas of archaeology history, modern human variation, quantitative genetics, bone biology, and medicolegal investigations. It is common knowledge that he provided insightful anthropological and statistical assistance, as well as substantial research cooperation.
Steve was a trustworthy and generous person. He gave his time and effort to assist a great number of people. He made us laugh. He was a thoughtful and original host and listener. He had a variety of interests, including history, movies, music, reading, and traveling. He cherished the time he got to spend in Germany with his wife, children, and other loved ones. He was particularly fond of German beer and culture. He adores fun.
