Commissioner Steve Shelton

Appointed by the Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives.

Steve Shelton, a senior application programmer and consultant with Fidelity National Information Services, has never allowed blindness to become a barrier to achieving his goals.

Commissioner Shelton began his career in 1977 after graduating from East Central University with a bachelor’s of science degree in mathematics and minors in computer science and accounting.

He was a client of the Department of Rehabilitation Services’ Visual Services and Vocational Rehabilitation program, which assisted him with his education and job placement. This assistance was a key factor in building the foundation for a successful information technology career.
