Steve Porter

Steve Porter is the founder and co-owner of FCE Benefit Administrators, Inc. (FCE), a Bay Area fringe-benefit administrator that has guided top US defense contractors through the challenging prevailing-wage legislation. Steve honed his expertise in the fringe-benefit and prevailing wage industry over many years while working in all aspects of the industry and studying all areas of prevailing wage legislation. That expertise resulted in FCE becoming the leading administrator serving government contractors subject to the Davis Bacon and Service Contract Acts. Steve works closely with FCE clients to ensure that their employee populations receive a maximum benefit-value within the mandated fringe budget. Steve lent his considerable talents to help stabilize federal projects in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Marshall Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Antarctica. Among the 250 corporations that comprise FCE’s primary clients are Javits-Wagner-O’Day companies (the AbilityOne Program) that provide employment opportunities to disabled Americans and service-disabled veterans.

Since 2013, Steve has served as the co-Vice President of Caminar for the Mental Health Board of San Mateo, CA. Caminar was built on a commitment to improve community-based support services and opportunities for people with disabilities to enable them to live and work in the communities in which they reside. Caminar has over 600 employees committed to serving peoples with mental disabilities, residential programs, job plus employment services and medical clinics. Steve is an active participant in board governance matters and as well as fund raising activities. He was unanimously elected Board Chair effective July 2016. He retired from the position as Board Chair of Caminar for Mental Health in May 2018.

A native of Alabama, Steve graduated from Troy University with a degree in Business. He thereafter moved to northern California where he gained recognition as an accomplished real-estate developer.
