Of all of Aldis’® board members, Mr. Dauphin may have one of the most varied backgrounds.

After earning a bachelor of arts degree in economics and religion from Harvard, he worked with Citibank and the Anglican Church of Newfoundland. He then attended the University of North Carolina, where he earned his Master of Business Administration as a Jenrette Fellow. He followed that by serving for four years as a special agent for the DEA in Arizona. There, he helped hunt down cocaine traffickers and dismantle methamphetamine labs.

Steve then returned to the business world and helped launch the Harbinger Group’s first two private equity funds, including a $76 million independent power fund. In 1998, he co-founded Bonaventure Capital, a venture capital firm, and joined Murphree Venture Partners in 2003 as a general partner when the two firms merged their operations.

Steve generally focuses on investments related to power generation, power consumption, and environmentally responsible fertilizers.
