Steve Wilcox joined Calder Capital in 2024 as an M&A Advisor. Originally hailing from Davison, Michigan, Steve now calls East Lansing home. He holds a Bachelor’s degree from Eastern Michigan University where he majored in finance and graduated magna cum laude. Additionally, Steve holds an MBA from Michigan State University’s Eli Broad College of Business. Steve brings a diverse background in business and finance, previously serving as Owner and Operator at CoVenture Investment, LLC, where he managed a rental property portfolio and assisted homeowners in avoiding foreclosure and bankruptcy. He also owned and operated CoVenture Funding, LLC, focusing on commercial loan brokerage, and Clear Surplus, LLC, specializing in liquidating business equipment, inventory, and large estates. Beyond entrepreneurship, Steve has held significant roles in finance and project management, including positions at Citizens Bank, an internship at General Motors during his MBA program, Volkswagen of America, Inc., focusing on finance, and a mid-sized mechanical contracting firm, where he was involved in finance, accounting, and project management. Steve's drive is fueled by his desire to leverage his expertise for the benefit of others, the satisfaction of closing deals, and his commitment to collaborative achievement. Off the clock, he indulges in travel and photography, finds relaxation in music ranging from classic rock to jazz and classical, and enjoys attending concerts. He likes long walks in the woods and along beaches, cycling around East Lansing and MSU’s campus, and delving into reading about business, finance, and economics, while keeping a keen eye on market trends.
