Stephen has worn many hats throughout his life. He began as a small business owner and craftsman, and over the years, evolved into a writer, artist, and thought leader. His unique perspective on life has been shaped by a myriad of eclectic experiences, most profoundly by his battle with and recovery from alcoholism.

Stephen's journey with alcohol started early in his childhood, unknowingly steering the course of his life for many subsequent years. This struggle compelled him to hide his true self behind a facade. However, achieving and maintaining sobriety became his liberation. It gave Stephen the freedom to showcase his inherent charm and sociability without restraint.

For Stephen, sobriety has been a voyage of self-discovery and reigniting passions. Writing, art, music, and a plethora of creative pursuits that lay dormant during his challenging years have been brought back into the light. His daily reflections, captured through journaling, have not only been a source of solace but also inspired him to write his debut memoir—a candid chronicle of his journey through sobriety and recovery.

His experiences have uniquely equipped Stephen to guide many on their paths towards sobriety. The immense joy and fulfillment he garners from helping others have solidified his determination to assist as many as possible in overcoming their battles with alcohol and addiction. Stephen offers a refreshing perspective and an alternative approach, especially for those who find it challenging to connect with traditional programs.

When he's not aiding others or deeply engrossed in his creative endeavors, Stephen can be found appreciating the landscapes of the world, and cherishing moments with his loved ones. He is on a mission to reshape the way society perceives and addresses alcoholism, support others in navigating their way to sobriety, and spread his art, insights, and affection globally.
