Stephen is a husband, father, adventurer, food scientist and volunteer Outdoor Afro leader. When he is not out exploring alone or with his family, he is a food scientist who works on meat and seafood projects. As a volunteer Outdoor Afro leader in the Twin Cities, he works to inspire and connect Black people to nature. He wants to be able to provide people with skills to enjoy themselves safely in the outdoors and take care of the natural spaces, too.
