Steven Boender joined the FOPIR board in 2022 and serves as Secretary. He is a mergers and acquisitions partner with Stoel Rives, with a particular focus on the automotive/transportation and technology sectors and serves as co-chair of the firm’s transportation industry group. Steven has participated in motorsports of one kind or another since he was 16 years old, starting with drag racing and ultimately morphing into his current form as a road course track rat. Look for him on track in a semi-sketchy race-prepped E30 or an obnoxiously loud Chevrolet SS sedan.
