Stephen has called New York home for almost twenty years and knows the city well from living and working in various neighborhoods in Brooklyn, SoHo, Tribeca, the West Village, and the Upper West Side before settling in Washington Heights in 2012. When not hard at work, he enjoys many interests including photography, the history of New York and its architecture, cycling, sailing, the arts, food and wine, and volunteering.
