Steve Sims Biography

What you see IS what you get. Many speakers who claim to be “onions” – i.e., wrapped in mystical and magical layers of enigmatic meaning – have their metaphors mixed up because they’re typically nothing but smoke and mirrors; get too close, and it’s all style and no substance.

Steve Sims ain’t no onion. And what you see and get is a man whom you’d probably avoid making eye contact with in an alley — or anywhere else, for that matter. After all, a shaved head, Harley Davidson garb, and body piercings on a 5’ 11”, 240 lb. frame don’t scream, “Let’s be friends!”

But that’s the irony of it all because despite his gruff exterior, Sims is remarkably open, engaging, generous, intuitive, insightful, and competent – and he’s leveraged all of this to build a remarkably successful entrepreneurial career.

Sims is the visionary founder of Bluefish, the world’s first luxury concierge, which delivers the highest level of personalized travel, transportation, and cutting-edge entertainment services to corporate executives, celebrities, professional athletes, and other discerning individuals interested in living life to the fullest. Sims has taken his clients on a submarine trip to the Titanic, closed a museum in Florence for a private dinner party that included a serenade from Andrew Bocelli, and much more.

Sims has been quoted in various publications and on TV, with appearances in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, the UK’s Sunday Times, the South China Morning Post, and many more. He is the best-selling author of "Bluefishing: The Art of Making Things Happen" and "Go For Stupid: The Art of Achieving Ridiculous Goals," a sought-after consultant, and a speaker to a variety of networks, groups, and associations, including the Pentagon and Harvard.
