Stephen was born in Fontana, California in 1975. His most impressionable years growing up were spent in Corona, California. He is married and the father of 5 children. He and his wife have been married for 24 years and moved to New Harmony from Hurricane, Utah where they lived for the previous 15 years. They left Hurricane and moved to New Harmony in search of a quieter place with more space to raise their family. Together with his wife and kids they spent two years building their house, taking on almost every task from milling most of the wood to making the bricks, pouring concrete, framing, most of the electrical and plumbing, and much more. For the last 20 years, and presently, Stephen has owned and operated a small wastewater management company serving southwestern Utah and parts of Arizona and Nevada. His passions in life include rock climbing, whitewater kayaking, gardening, and improving the space around him. Stephen is excited to serve as the President of Mountain Springs Water Company and the opportunity it will provide him to get to know the community better.
