Born in 1989, to an already musically inclined family, Stephen found his bearings for drums at an early age. Pulling influence from drummers such as Abe Cunningham, Chad Smith, and later on, Joey Jordison. Hitting the ground running in hard rock and metal genres, he began to cut his teeth right out of high school in Columbus bands such as Critical Conflict, Throwing Rocks At Girls, Auntiem, Act Of Violence, and many more before landing in blues alternative rock band Zoo Trippin’.

After eight long years of building up Zoo Trippin’, he decided to cut his ties and go back to what he knew: writing heavy music.

He is currently drumming for ARTIFAS.
