Born profoundly deaf, Stephen has overcome tremendous odds to succeed in the world of Wall Street as a stockbroker. One day he had a spiritual revelation where he knew that his destiny was to become an inspirational speaker and author. He quit his lucrative job at a major brokerage house to build his speaking career. Along the way he found out there were other deaf pilots flying and his childhood dream came roaring back to life. He went on to earn a private, commercial and for the first time in aviation history, an instrument rating.
