STEVE BISCIOTTI is in his 27th year as an owner of the Ravens. The passionate Bisciotti, 66, originally bought a minority interest in the team from Art Modell in 2000 and then completed the majority purchase of the franchise on April 9, 2004.

Steve's initial investment in the Ravens provided funds to secure free agents for the 2000 Super Bowl XXXV Championship team. Baltimore would later go on to win Super Bowl XLVII during the 2012 campaign, capturing the franchise's second world title in just 17 seasons. (Since the turn of the century, the Ravens are one of eight NFL teams to win multiple Super Bowl championships.)

Baltimore would later go on to win Super Bowl XLVII during the 2012 campaign, capturing the franchise's second world title in just 17 seasons. (Since the turn of the century, the Ravens are one of eight NFL teams to win multiple Super Bowl championships.)

Since taking over as the Ravens' full owner (2004), Bisciotti's teams have earned the playoffs a total of 13 times, including the AFC's No. 1 seed in 2019 (14-2 record) and 2023 (13-4 record). Baltimore has also captured seven AFC North crowns under Steve's leadership, including a division-best four in the past eight seasons (2018-25).

When Bisciotti hired former head coach John Harbaugh in 2008, some eyebrows were raised. Harbaugh had never been a head coach at any level, nor an NFL offensive or defensive coordinator. It was a decision that ultimately produced a Hall of Fame-worthy career. Along with the Super Bowl XLVII victory, Baltimore advanced to the playoffs in each of Harbaugh's first five years and made 12 postseason appearances in 18 seasons overall.

Entering 2026, Bisciotti and the Ravens embark on a new era with Jesse Minter, 43, who was named the fourth head coach in franchise history on Jan. 22.

"Jesse was impressive throughout our incredibly thorough interview process," Bisciotti stated. "He clearly understands the values, high expectations and history of the Ravens, and he has a great vision for the future. Jesse's football acumen is outstanding, and that's been proven by the impact he's made throughout his entire coaching career. He is also a leader who will authentically connect with our players and inspire them to championship levels. It was clear to us that Jesse is a special talent who has what it takes to lead us as head coach of the Ravens."

An energetic visionary, Steve is quietly dedicated to several important causes and projects, some associated with his deep Catholic faith. He is a board member of Catholic Charities, and with his wife, Renee, created The Bisciotti Family Foundation. Much of their extensive charity work and generous giving are done without public notice.

The Bisciotti Family Foundation and the Ravens have partnered on numerous philanthropic efforts, supporting organizations such as the Fund for Educational Excellence, the United Way of Central Maryland, the Baltimore Community Foundation and the Maryland Food Bank. They have also contributed to social justice reform by funding 28 programs – chosen by a committee of current and former Ravens players – focused on creating meaningful change throughout Baltimore.

In 2021, they honored Pro Football Hall of Famer and longtime Ravens personnel executive Ozzie Newsome by establishing the Ozzie Newsome Scholars Program, which benefits Baltimore City Public Schools graduates attending Maryland's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The Bisciotti family also helped establish in 2024 the Ravens College Access program – benefiting CollegeBound, Bridges Baltimore, and College Track – to expand access to higher education.

Another project led by the Bisciotti Family Foundation and Ravens was a substantial funding commitment to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore, which resulted in the 2025 opening of the Baltimore Ravens Boys & Girls Club at Hilton Recreation Center. Additionally, the foundation has directed significant grants toward Baltimore-area hospitals to grow the nursing workforce, and separately, supports Baltimore's Healthy Harbor Initiative.

Born in Philadelphia on April 10, 1960, Bisciotti moved with his family to Baltimore (Severna Park) in March of 1961 when Steve, the youngest of three children, was 11 months old. His father, Bernard, took the children to Orioles and

Colts games. Sadly, Bernard died of leukemia when Steve was 8. His mother, Patricia, a huge Ravens fan, then raised the children.

After graduating from Salisbury (Md.) State University in 1982 with a degree in liberal arts, Bisciotti worked in the temporary help industry. In 1983 (at age 23), he started Aerotek with his cousin, Jim Davis. They offered aerospace and technology companies access to skilled temporary employees.

Aerotek is part of Allegis Group, the largest staffing firm in the United States and the largest privately held talent management firm in the world. The company, headquartered just outside Baltimore, has offices throughout North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. Allegis Group has over 15,000 internal employees and 110,000 employees assigned to client engagements. These include engineers, scientists, IT professionals, accountants, attorneys and industrial workers.

Before purchasing the Ravens, Bisciotti's business success was not well known to the public on a national level, or even notable in the Baltimore area, where he and his partners kept a low profile. "I'm OK if I'm one of the least known owners in pro sports," Bisciotti says.

Bisciotti enjoys golfing, boating and spending time with his seven grandchildren. He and his wife, Renee (Foote), have two sons, Jason and Jack, who reside with their families in the Baltimore area.
