Steven DeLong

Steve came to Bluetree Dental with almost 20 years of successful corporate, private and non-profit management experience. His path to the dental and DSO world was almost by accident. In 2010, after serving as the CEO of a Utah non-profit for almost 6 years and supervising its financial turn around Steve returned to his home state of Nevada and settled in Reno. Through a mutual acquaintance he connected with 2 pediatric dentists who were looking for additional administrative support in their large single location practice. In 2012, after 18 months of learning the ins and outs of pediatric dentistry, Steve formed Bluetree Dental and Bluetree Practice Services with the two pediatric dentists and two local orthodontists. The partnership has grown from the four founding doctors and himself to supporting over 30 providers, over 250 team members, and over 20 practice locations in 4 states. In addition, Steve founded Carefree Professional Practice Resources where he and a partner provide DSO consulting, tax, and valuation services.

Steve graduated from Utah State University – Jon Huntsman School of Business with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting, and a Master’s in Business Administration and Management.
