Collecting is in Stephen’s blood. From a young age, he would store and treasure anything he could get his hands on – comic books, sports cards, comic art, and memorabilia. His passion is infectious, and his expertise and understanding of the material is widely respected.

In the early 1990’s, Stephen was CMO of Wizard, co-founded the world’s leading magazines covering comic books, toys, games and animation, along with many specialty books. By the mid-90’s Wizard then acquired and launched its first of many live events including the Chicago Comic Con. This began Stephen’s 20+ year career of producing over 175 Comic Con festivals across North America. Stephen has booked over 3,000 celebrities, tens of thousands of artists, and played host to millions of happy fans.
