Stephen was born in Gaziantep, Turkey where his parents, having been sponsored by the Emmanuel Congregational Church of Harford, taught at Tarsus American College. Moving back to the United States, Steve grew up in CT and graduated from Harvard H. Ellis Regional Vocational Technical High School where he focused on architectural drafting. He went on to study at Quinebaug Valley Community College with additional course work at Eastern Connecticut State University and UCONN.
Steve spent over 13 years in the CT Air National Guard as an aircraft weapons systems specialist and public relations specialist. Additionally, he has held several Executive Director positions in the non-profit arena including the Vacaville, CA Business Improvement District, Summerwind Performing Arts Center, and The Little Theatre of Manchester. Previously he helped manage a family business, the Municipal “Muni” Café in Hartford.
Steve and his wife Terese have lived in Windsor for over 17 years and are owners of Euphoria Event Solutions, a successful, nationwide, luxury and specialty tent rental company with its warehouse on Skitchewaug Street. Steve’s downtime is spent woodworking, skiing and flying.
Steve’s goal as a Councilor is to attempt to get the most bang for the taxpayers’ buck and to try to limit government’s intrusion into citizens’ lives.
He looks towards increasing the taxpayers’ return on their investment in the community while trying to mitigate the “Us versus Them” mentality that all too often curbs true progress on Town Council.
