“We’re outdoor people,” says Stephen. He explains that he’s spent half in life in Florida, kayaking, hiking, scuba diving and enjoying 4×4 adventures. The other half his life was spent in New England, participating in a variety of outdoor activities. His grown sons live in Colorado, which he loves to visit. Stephen and his wife, Sandra, call North Carolina home in the summer. No matter the season, he’s exploring his environment.
Stephen chose to create a fund to benefit wildlife and conservation of their habitats because of his deep appreciation for the value of wildlife. “We share our space with so many creatures. They’re here for a reason, but we don’t spend time thinking about where they go or how they’ll survive when development destroys habitats.”
