Novelist, singer-songwriter, musician, history buff, and retired engineer.
A process engineer by profession, Stephen holds an MS degree in Chemical Engineering and has spent most of his professional career consulting for the biopharmaceutical manufacturing industries.
"Greenwich: The Final Project" offered Stephen the perfect opportunity to combine his love of history and writing with his career experience in the biotech consulting field. His desire to bridge the gap between his two brain hemispheres climaxed in the summer of 2007 when he launched this writing project at the urging of his wife, Janet, following their off-the-beaten-path day trip to the quaint, historic town of Greenwich, NJ, on the Cohansey River.
While honing his professional technical writing skills, Stephen has been able to tap into his artistic side over the years as a singer-songwriter and musician. In the eighties, he helped to establish an original rock band and, together with his brother, formed an independent record label to record and promote their music. His appetite for creative writing evolved from his songwriting experience with its emphasis on lyrical content.
Recently retired from the consulting business, Stephen plans to spend more time on his other interests—creative writing, exploring history, and taking more “off-the-beaten-path” trips with his wife, Janet. His most recent novel, “Beneath the Maize,” is a fast-moving Sci-Fi fantasy crime mystery set in Janet’s home state of Wisconsin, and explores the Native American legends and cultures of that region.
Stephen was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. For the past thirty-plus years, Steve and his wife, Janet, have called south Jersey their home, and are the proud parents of two grown sons, Kevin and Michael.
