A current Stanford and former Harvard player who attended Torrey Pines high school leading his team to a seventh place finish at the 2010 HSNCT where he was the fourth individual scorer. He was also the third leading scorer at the 2010 PACE NSC. Stephen has also led Harvard to a fifth-place finish at 2014 ACF Nationals, and Stanford to top-5 finishes at each national tournament from 2014-2016. His highest Chicago Open finish was a tie for second in 2013, when he played alongside Jonathan Magin, Evan Adams, and Billy Busse.
He is also well-known for his dominance at Mike Bentley's Eyes That Do Not See, regularly achieving the highest number of powers relative to any field (and usually outpacing the field in powers by a wide margin, with the exception of the 2015 event).
