MANAGEMENT

CEO/Executive Director

Mr. Tony Teravainen, USN (Ret.)

CEO/Executive Director Experience

A vocal advocate for the public support of our military community, Mr. Teravainen assumed his position as President and CEO in February 2014 after serving as a STEP board member and volunteer since 2009. ​As the son of a career Air Force father, Tony knows firsthand the hardships that young military families face. After a medical condition abruptly ended his career as a U.S. Navy submariner, he experienced the difficulties of a rushed transition to civilian life. This is why Tony sees himself, his parents, and his brother, each time a young child, a military spouse, a fellow Veteran or service member visits the STEP office. Tony holds undergraduate degrees in Business Management and Nuclear Engineering, as well as a Master’s in Executive Leadership from The University of San Diego. He holds licenses in Six Sigma and project and change management, one U.S. patent, and he earned the Submarine Service insignia during his military service.
