Stephen has been a State of Ohio-licensed Hearing Aid Specialist/Fitter since 2009. His career in hearing healthcare began after an extended conversation with a well-respected member of the audiology community. Stephen had long been involved in various positions helping people, so this was a natural transition. He brought his extensive experience assessing and treating hearing issues to Kenwood Hearing Center, now a HearingLife Company, in 2021.
Stephen currently lives in Perrysburg, Ohio, with his fiancée and two dogs. When not helping people hear better, he enjoys traveling, time with friends and family or just spending a quiet night at home watching sports, especially football.
