Stephen Fuller, COO

Steve Fuller retired as a Captain from the United States Navy after a very successful 27-year career that culminated with two tours with Military Sealift Command: Commodore the squadron of ships in the Far East out of Singapore and the initial Director of Training and Readiness at headquarters in Norfolk.  In both capacities he took full advantage of every opportunity to get to know the Merchant Marines who sailed under his command and always sought out the best available means to provide them with the tools and services to succeed in their missions.  Following an initial mentorship lunch with Adam Klein, they began a regular correspondence that continues to this day called My Three Things – a reflection on three things they are proud of that they accomplished during that week.  This opened the door to a friendship inspired by good work and service which has resulted in the founding of Even Keel Development, Inc.
