Outside The Office

Stephen is an avid runner and can be found lacing up his sneakers and hitting the pavement in his free time. When he’s not busy chasing down that next endorphin rush, he can be found coaching his son’s soccer team or testing out marinades and rubs at the meat smoking operation he runs out of his backyard.
