“SAI is in the dream manifestation business. Working with you to ensure we understand and deliver your dream is the most important thing I do.”
Steve Briggs serves as SAI’s business management partner, responsible for corporate finance and business development, legal matters and compliance.
A native of Vienna, VA, Steve has over 30 years experience in real estate development, construction, finance and entrepreneurship. In the early ‘80’s,
he founded a development firm specializing in single family detached, townhomes and condominium renovation in Virginia, Delaware, Colorado and Vermont. With
a focus on historic preservation and downtown revitalization, Steve also served
as general partner on commercial projects utilizing limited partnerships, real estate syndication and industrial revenue bond financing.
In the mid-‘90’s, Steve was retained as CEO of SFG Inc., a mortgage-backed securities firm specializing in seller-originated second mortgage pools. Steve then restructured a Richmond-based mortgage brokerage company into a mortgage banking company licensed in Virginia and Maryland. During this period, he capitalized ASGI, Inc, a start up with a proprietary RFID technology, which he managed as CEO and sold to a public company in 1999.
Steve has long been involved in green technology, innovation and public service.
In 1979 he installed one of Fairfax County’s first integrated solar-wood energy systems on his home in Centreville, VA. In the mid ‘90’s, he co-developed proprietary RF technology and served on the ANSI sub-committee for RFID standards. Since 1999, Steve has served in leadership positions with The New Frontiers International, including terms on its international board of directors, and
co-developed the youth leadership program, Champions Quest International.
Steve represents SAI on the US Green Building Council, the Northern VA Building Industry Association Green Building Committee, the US EPA EnergyStar™ Partners program, and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. He holds the National Association of Home Builders “Certified Green Professional” and “Certified Aging in Place Specialist” designations, and is a GreenAdvantage™ certified builder.
