He has provided me with the guidance necessary to face difficult decisions, and he can relate to both students and parents alike. Stephen is very enthusiastic and has a genuine interest in helping teenagers get through difficult times.

- Teen

“He is persuasive, knowledgeable, and personable. He has a vast amount of experience and spends a great deal of time with children asking, listening, sharing, and guiding. He is a moving and passionate speaker, and I would highly recommend him.

- Parent

“Stephen addresses difficult and provocative issues with insight and compassion backed by the landmark SADD Teens Today studies. His presentation is thoughtful and clear and vital to all who serve youth.

- Executive, American Camp Association

“Stephen connects with faculty because he is amusing, full of the kinds of anecdotes that resonate with those who work with kids professionally. He is effective with parents because he helps them understand their kids more clearly. I think people carry away a clear idea about what they actually need to do when working with young people and living with their own children.
