STephen was born and raised in Astoria, along with his two brothers. They constantly played a variety of sports, so competition was instilled in him at an early age. That competitive drive is what made Him captain of his high school hockey and baseball teams, and went on to be an all-city athlete. When he played hockey in college for C.W. Post ,he noticed the athletes were bigger, faster and stronger. He knew he had to put in extra hours at the gym, and started with some research. graduating with a degree in Physical Education, He began teaching full-time in 2012. Using his knowledge of anatomy and physiology, he started to train at a leading corporate gym in 2013, primarily for extra income and fun. This transitioned into a full-time career. Shortly after, he was introduced to CrossFit and HIIT training, which reignited that competitive fire. Training in varied modalities has always been paramount. Fitness has become his passion focusing on helping others to move better so they can train better.
