Stephen earned a bachelor’s degree in Entrepreneurship from the University of St. Thomas, and has attended several international leadership and business summits to enhance his education. Following graduation, he gained hands-on experience in building social brands and understanding fan loyalty during an 18-month digital marketing internship at the Green Bay Packers. For the last several years, Stephen has been working in digital marketing and brand marketing at Ariens Company.
