Chief Investment Officer
Centurion Counsel


“Being a native San Diegan (4th generation) I have a special bond with San Diego. In particular, I grew up in the East County where my family has had roots since WWII. I am a firm believer in giving back to my community and try to manage my time so I have the opportunity to put my expertise to work with organizations that have the same long-standing ties. Grossmont Foundation was a perfect fit for me in this area, and as an added bonus, I even attended Grossmont College in the late 60’s. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with the Foundation.”

“Serving on the Grossmont College Foundation Board has been an exciting opportunity for me to help contribute to an important part of the growing community—our students. Building strong strategic plans to assure all students have the chance for higher education is not only the goal of the Foundation, but our commitment. We all possess certain talents that, when shared with others in our local businesses and neighborhoods, can help to develop strong community partners. I appreciate the chance to work with such dedicated community leaders. It has been both inspirational and fulfilling. I look forward to continued growth and better education for all of our students.”

Steve A. Devan
President & CEO
Grossmont Schools Federal Credit Union

My reason for serving is very simple. As the President/CEO of Grossmont Schools Federal Credit Union, the ability to serve on the Grossmont College Foundation board is one of many ways for the credit union to keep abreast of the activities that affect the employees of the GCCCD, and to further emphasize our commitment to the district. It is also an excellent way to improve our visibility as we work to establish a "community partnership" with the campuses and administration of the GCCCD.

“Having grown up in La Mesa, living, working and raising my children in East County and now, grandchildren growing up here, I not only realize how important educational opportunities have been to the successes in my family, but the importance of continuing to provide excellant educational opportunities and choices to today's and future East County students.”
