Stephen is an illuminator whose primary focus is designing & VJ-ing immersive experiences using projection & media. At the heart, Stephen is a curator of visual worship who seeks to unleash people’s imaginations through moments of wonder & astonishment. Much of his work is done in collaboration with artists & authors such as Gungor, All Sons & Daughters, Beth Moore, Travis Cottrell, & Glenn Packiam. He is also involved with a few missional organizations who are shining the light of Jesus in the darkest areas of this world.

This has opened up many opportunities for Stephen to travel across the earth, which has fueled his ever-expanding worldview, his addiction to adventure, & his love for coffee. Though the road goes ever on & on, Stephen loves to come home to Nashville where he spends much of his time writing, blogging, & creating spaces for conversation. He also volunteers on the creative arts team at his church, Journey.

Stephen's curiosity drives him; he relentlessly asks inconvenient questions that challenge the status quo & mundane. His days are filled with conversations on the role art & beauty plays in today's spiritual culture. This has opened the door for Stephen to speak at various creative gatherings, such as Luminous Project, ECHO & National Worship Leaders Conference.
