NOTABLES
By Theresa Hieronymus ‘74
It’s always exciting when your school produces a star, whether it’s a classmate
who becomes a politician or the basketball MVP who hits the big time. Being able
to say, “I knew him/her when!” about a Notable Alumnus is a wonderful feeling.
A Notable Alumnus is someone who has graduated from a school and gone on to
achieve remarkable, extraordinary, or distinguished accomplishments that garner
the attention of others.
Stephen (Steve) Daleo, a member of the class of 1974, is the latest alumnus
to be inducted into the Northeast High School Alumni Association’s list of
Northeast Notables.
After graduating from Northeast High School in 1974, Steve attended the
University of Missouri, where he earned both a Bachelor of Science and a
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering. He began his career in Research and
Development of medical devices shortly after graduation.
In 1979, Steve started his engineering career with the Bendix Corporation, where
he worked as a Design Engineer responsible for evaluating the performance of
semiconductor devices. His subsequent career included positions at various
companies: - DIT-MCO International, where he served as Product Manager and
Senior Engineer. - PPG Biomedical, where he was responsible for design and
project management for cardiac catheterization, electrophysiology, and patient
monitoring systems. - Tyco/Mallinckrodt/Nellcor, which facilitated his move from
Missouri to California, where he held the role of Staff Program Manager and
Hardware Manager.
- TheraSense, where he developed blood glucose monitoring instruments for
diabetics.
- OptiScan Biomedical, where he designed a glucose measurement system for
diabetes. - Sanarus Medical, where he was the Director of Systems Engineering,

design. He was also the national importer for two hang gliding companies: Flight
