Stephen got involved with education while still in college. Along with 2 years of working with two different tutoring companies aimed at serving underprivileged students, and a summer teaching fellowship in writing, he was a music teaching assistant at St. John's College. Graduating with majors in both Philosophy and History of Western Mathematics and Science, he continued pursuing his passion for education, first by becoming an Education Instructor for preschool programs at the Dallas Zoo, followed by a year teaching history and geometry at Chandler Prep where he remains today.
