Steve Favis Born 1978, in Napa Valley California Congressional Candidate 3rd Congressional District, California 2010.

Currently working as a technology professor at ITT Technical Institute, Steve picked up computers at the early age of 6 years old before hard drives, internet, and mice were standard. By 10 he was creating digital paintings, and playing with game development kits on his Amiga.

He Graduated from Napa High school in 1996, and went to California State University Sacramento to study Computer Science.

While he was going to school he decided to start a computer consulting business around 1998. Steve serviced roughly 5,000 computers within his 12 years of running his business, and had gotten a good idea of problems consumers were having the sales before function and forced obsolescence that all of our modern technology is designed around.

A staunch open source user for software, he is adamant about how the open source model that is being used for software can also be used towards manufacturing.

"Rather than Gillette and Schick coming out with a new razor every year, they are wasting consumers money and our planets resources by selling a weeks supply of razors for $30. The consumers will eventually smarten up and realize that they can buy the ORIGINAL safety razor (or clone) and get just as an effective shave without having to throw away the handle for $7 A MONTH. The reason why the original safety razor is cheap is because the handles are built in an "open architecture" fashion. Meaning ANYBODY can manufacture parts within the specifications that are established. Consumer's naturally will not want to buy propriety technology every few years if it keeps getting more expensive. The NATURAL process of technology, its evolution, is it is suppose to get CHEAPER and more EFFICIENT to manufacture as it gets standardized. Consumers will naturally go back to what is the best option for them and Gilette won't get away selling overly priced junk and FORCING the consumer to subscribe to their impropriety". Paper is a good example of open architecture, look how cheap it is in its standard size."

After completion of college Steve landed a job at Electronic Arts and helped to create "The Simpsons Game" which was published in 2007.

Shortly after his time at Electronics Arts, there was a shortage of instructors within his field and he began his career as a professor.

Currently he is working on a technology that could potentially radically change manufacturing, distribution and make a leaner and more efficient economy.
