Born on January 20, 1956 at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Boston, MA. Stephen spent his early childhood years in North Adams whose rural beauty and mountains he enjoyed immensely.

He attended Brookline High School later graduating from Newman Prep. He received a BS in engineering in 1992 from Northeastern University and many years later studied at Tufts University where he received an MS in Electrical Engineering in 2011. He was well respected by his Tufts professors, especially his advisors.

Stephen struggled from multiple health conditions all his life. He had been fortunate to have received a liver transplant in 2016 which gifted him 7 additional years of life for which he remained grateful.

Stephen's most distinguishing characteristics were his steadfast kindness and his care for others. He loved a good party with family, festive holiday meals, and neighborhood block parties. He especially loved Christmas and enjoyed fireworks and would walk to wherever he could to get a good view of them.
