Steve Mariotti

Considered one of today's leading experts in education for at-risk youth, Steve Mariotti changed career paths back in 1982 when he decided to move from the corporate sector and become a special education teacher in the New York City school system. Mr. Mariotti's first assignment was in the East New York section of Brooklyn, and his last was in the Fort Apache section of the South Bronx.

Now, almost twenty years later, the mission of his Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship is to teach entrepreneurship and help low-income young people become economically productive members of society by improving their academic, business, technological, and general life skills.

A native son of Flint, Michigan, Mr. Mariotti received his B.B.A in business economics and his M.B.A. from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He has also studied at Harvard University, Stanford University, and Brooklyn College. He started his professional career as a treasury analyst for Ford Motor Company before founding his own company, Mason Import/Export Services.
