Author of the “My Child Is An Addict - Navigating Through Your Child's Addiction," Stephen’s perspectives encapsulate the essence of alchemy: transforming challenges into hope, and a life of survival mode, into one of genuinely living. 

Stephen’s path as a speaker and author holds deep personal roots as well as a dynamic professional history.

Being a lifelong musician, he has been privileged to tour throughout Canada on several occasions.

Today, he channels his deep-rooted compassion for people, teams, and growth into his work as a beyond-the-boardroom author and speaker. As a person who has great empathy for those who struggle, his book "My Child Is An Addict" touches on a topic profoundly personal to him and exposes addiction's stark reality through a parental view. In this light, he is passionate about accepting the reality of loss while remaining focused on the future as he believes these are two concepts that can go hand-in-hand. 

Extending a compassionate arm to parents and loved one’s alike who are grappling with the challenges of loving, and attempting to care for, those who are stricken with mental illness and active addiction, he affirms that their dedication is meaningful, their presence impactful, and their role irreplaceable.

Stephen was born in Newfoundland, Canada and, like most born there, will forever refer to Newfoundland as “home.”
