Bio

Stephen is a girl dad, son, brother, uncle, nephew, godfather, dog lover, musician, firearms enthusiast and instructor, and sports fan (especially F1). Growing up in a strict religious Portuguese household, he started his first job in the 5th grade as a paperboy. He has never stopped working since, including a 30-year career in finance/banking/IT.

He has dealt with mental health issues and depression on and off since his teens and continues to use therapy as a part of his current routine and lifestyle. “I want to share my personal experiences with others who have had or are experiencing mental health difficulty or thoughts of suicide, and to help them seek information including how to get the professional help they may need, what to expect, that it isn’t a sign of weakness, it shows you are trying to be the best possible version of yourself. You are very much needed and you don’t have to do this alone.”
