About Me
Howdy! I'm Stephen.
Geek-Hippie-Austinite. At your service.
Short Story...
I grew up loving Tech, but separated from my Heart. Then I left Tech aside and went traveling to find my Heart. Now I'm back home, integrating the two so I can serve those who are consciously bringing Love into the World.
Credentials? I've got a few! I worked with Apple for 2+ years. Built the technology backbone for Austin startup No. 4 St. James. And I've been nurturing the digital lifeforms around my friends and family for over 15 years.
I'm on a Healing Journey.
I have a certificate in Permaculture Design and recently spent 2 years visiting Ecovillages in Europe, Canada, and the United States. This Journey opened me up to everyday folks who are healing themselves, each other, and our Planet through holistically sustainable practices.While I'm still working to integrate such holism into my own life practices, I deeply admire the thousands of Communities worldwide who are co-creating a conscious, life-regenerating future and I love offering my gifts to anyone who considers themselves part of this Global Movement.
In the Heart of Texas.
I live an active urban lifestyle with minimal environmental impact. I ride a bicycle everywhere (haven't owned a car in 5 years). I buy local food, compost my organic waste, and recycle everything that I can.
I support my spiritual and physical health through regular yoga, ecstatic dance, and meditation practices. I've been a Facilitator in the Austin Authentic Relating and Circling communities. And most warm Fridays you'll find me cooling off in the healing waters of Barton Springs Pool.
"Stephen is very personable, genuine, and responsive. I could tell he truly cared and was committed to providing the best service that would help me meet the mission of my work."
— Melissa Carnagey of Sex Positive Families
Some Folks I've helped so far
Rosalind Bubb
Miscarriage Therapist
I designed and built Rosalind a full-featured Website for her Miscarriage Support business.
"My challenge was finding a reliable, easy-to-work-with Web designer who could make my Website look wonderful on all devices. I am delighted what has been accomplished. I know that when I need help with technology, I can always ask Stephen. I feel as if I have a partner in building my business."
Jane Hayes
Permaculture Designer
I custom-tailored a WordPress Website and event registration system for Garden Jane.
"Stephen's service is great and I highly recommend him. He's helped me build my website and much of the technical back end of my business operations. I'd looked for a long time to find someone with such an excellent whole systems approach and he is a pleasure to work with too!"
Oliver Kristevic
Sustainability Consultant
I built Oliver a Personal Website.
"Stephen is a truly deep listener – very present and authentic. He is able to model sincerity, boldness, bravery and vulnerability in ways that have had a profound effect on how I express myself when working with others. It has been a real pleasure to work with him toward the realization of my goals and dreams."
