Steve Cullen
President/CEO
From its inception, Steve has been the driving force behind LightBuckets. His broad strategic business experience combined with functional expertise in product management, engineering, and marketing has allowed him to build LightBuckets into the leading provider of online telescopes. Steve's vision for LightBuckets is simple...to make it easy to access research-grade telescopes by anyone interested in astronomy from beginners to astrophotographers to university researchers.
For the nine years prior to founding LightBuckets, Steve served in various capacities with Symantec Corporation, a multi-billion dollar consumer and enterprise security software company. In his most recent position, he was Sr. Vice President of Symantec's Security Products and Solutions Group, leading a two billion dollar business unit and over one-thousand technology professionals. He was a member of Symantec's ten-person Executive Committee which oversaw all strategic decisions for the company. Steve also held positions in product management and strategic marketing early in his career at Symantec. Prior to Symantec, Steve worked for market-leading software companies going back to the early 80's.
Steve has a number of other technology interests including being the founder and president of Mondo Brands, the worldwide leader in online enthusiast communities. Mondo builds and hosts communities where people of similar passions and pastimes get together to share thoughts, ideas, and information. Mondo currently has over 20 communities including SpaceSpot, DucatiSpot, FerrariSpot, GolfSpot, WineSpot, PhotoSpot, and more.
When he isn't busy running his businesses Steve spends time with his other hobbies including photography, motorsports, consumer electronics, radio-controlled vehicles, target shooting, home media & automation, and technology in general. In his free time, he enjoys time with his beautiful wife, their three unruly dogs, and their pet bird Gizzy.

It seems that Alvin is too busy writing code for LightBuckets and hasn't had time to write his biographic information. That's okay, we'd prefer that he write code than write copy, so we'll give him a pass on this for now!
