Michigan University, Stephen brings over ten years of past marketing and public relations experience to the board. In 2010, he changed directions in his career and began working as an app developer for Apple and Android. Shortly thereafter, he launched his own business, The Edison App Company, which has grown to a team of nine talented individuals. In 2014, he co-developed Patient Access Solutions, a digital development company that specializes in custom health solutions, where he now serves as Vice President of Development. The company has been recognized locally as the state of Michigan’s largest hospital and health network mobile developer (by client), and nationally by USA Today, Forbes, and The Washington Post for its focus on transparency in the patient care continuum.

 

Even though Stephen is a relative newcomer to East English Village, he and his spouse (a neighborhood association board leader) have become an integral part of the fabric of our community. The inclusiveness and revitalization of his neighborhood is what motivates him to be involved in MECCA. Neighbors wave and say “hello,” and often go out of their way to help one another every day. He appreciates how far his neighborhood has transformed in the past couple of years. When he moved into his home in the fall of 2014, seven homes were vacant on his block. Now, every home is occupied with neighbors and yards are full of flowers.

 

As a hobby, Stephen travels as much as his schedule permits. He is also an avid collector of vintage cars.
