When I saw Stephen pitching one of his ideas for the first time, I was sold and hired him a few months later. Over the six years we have worked together, he has grown into an outstanding creative marketer and story teller and I enjoy every time I have the opportunity to see him pitch. He really knows how to balance humor and emotion, always keeping the ultimate objective in mind. He will definitely be a great contribute to any creative team.

I had the pleasure to work closely with Stephen during his Merkle days, great talent with superb attitude, and always ready for a new challenge. His dedication and team player skills, combined with a creative mindset were decisive to win multiple new accounts and accolades during the 3 years we worked together. Definitely a great asset for any brand or agency.
