Stephen was born in Black River, Jamaica, on March 23, 1956. Stephen developed a lifelong
passion for beekeeping and raising homing pigeons. Working alongside his father, he mastered
construction and carpentry. He built a career throughout Middle Tennessee spanning over thirty
years. In 1979, he met the love of his life, Linda Ann Cornelius. They married in 1981, were
