" Parachute Express is a great combination of many things I love: music, acting, and children to name a few," Stephen says. It is so true.

Stephen was a child actor, has played music since he was a teen and has two sons, Adam and Zachary. When Donny first approached Stephen to discuss children's music, Stephen was a new father. His interest was high to begin with and it hasn't waned since.

Although nothing in the world is more special to Stephen then his own children, his love of all children is obvious to anyone who has ever seen a Parachute Express concert. If you've ever seen him perform "Who's Got A Hug?", you'll know what a caring individual he is. And if you've seen the rest of the show, you'll know the many other sides of Stephen as well. He is musical, funny, happy and truly enjoys communicating with all those around him.

Supported by the love of his talented wife, Althea, Stephen's energy for creating music knows no bounds. In those rare moments when Parachute Express does not need him, Stephen produces children's music for others. It seems that he is always running off to a recording studio, auditioning talent or finishing a mix before a deadline. His newest project is writing music for the popular animated cartoon show, "Jay Jay The Jet Plane" now seen daily on PBS. Not only did he write many of the songs for the series but he also wrote the theme song which is performed by...You quessed it, PARACHUTE EXPRESS.One look at Stephen's notebook and it is obvious how many ideas are percolating in his head. Stephen's newest claim to fame is that his musical IT CAME FROM BEYOND has been included in the New York Musical Theater Festival for 2005.

Stephen's dream is to bring music to children all over the world and, if he had his way, to meet each and every one of them.
