Wonderful guy!
Steve is an Engineer's engineer. I have met him a few times as he was judging FRC competitions, and quite frankly unless you knew who he was going in, you would never have guessed he was the celebrity (certainly in FIRST/Engineering circles anyway) that he is. There was no difference between him and the rest of the judges, he was friendly, personable, genuinely interested in the robots, and talking to the kids. I don't know what I enjoy more, seeing the kids realize who he is when he introduces himself, or watching him talk to students who don't know who he is, only to see their reaction afterwards when we tell them who they were talking to.

While the judges at most FRC regionals are pretty remarkable people, the early Boston regionals were especially interesting, including The Woz, Bob Metcalfe, Marvin Minsky, Colin Angle (iRobot). The entire regional was full of Engineering Psuedo Celebrities.
