About Steve & Henry Sims

Steve Sims has been running his luxury travel and lifestyle concierge firm, Bluefish, for more than twenty years. With his unique talent for connecting with people’s passions, opening doors, and making things happen, Sims has developed an exclusive reputation and impressive client list of the world’s rich and famous. Bluefish has offices around the world and has been featured in Forbes, The New York Times, Entrepreneur, Variety, Worth, CNBC, and many other media outlets. Sims is also a keynote speaker at venues including Harvard and the Pentagon, and has spoken at many top entrepreneurial groups, including Mastermind Talks, Genius Networking Events, and Entrepreneur Society of SF. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, kids, dogs, and a lot of motorcycles.

Growing up, Henry saw firsthand the good, the bad, and the constant roller coaster that is the life of an entrepreneur. Frankly, opting-in to this lifestyle seemed bizarre. Instead, he let his analytical mind and passion for motorcycles direct him into Mechanical Engineering at Oregon State University.

He enjoyed it and very quickly ranked at the top of many of his classes, but being an entrepreneur was in his blood and it didn’t take long before he realized that his skills, thought process, and goals best fit into the life of an entrepreneur. Where so many entrepreneurs suffer from shiny object syndrome and end up confusing themselves and sometimes harming their own business, Henry is able to build clarity, simplicity, and action into every element of a driven entrepreneur’s marketing and branding. 

He utilized all of his skills for analyzing data and systems to start a small digital marketing firm where he could analyze the marketing and branding efforts of his clients and optimize it for greater returns with less effort. It grew to a very healthy number of clients that relied on his ability and analytical mind to formulate the best way to expand their brand and message into the market they desired to be in.
