Bio

After watching the first moon landing at his grandfather’s side, Stephan desperately wanted to be an astronaut (until claustrophobia and advanced math redirected his energies). Since 2020, he has led Children’s Alliance as its Executive Director, helping to build an antiracist movement for children and their families. He has led direct service nonprofits, operated his own consulting practice and was even elected to the Seattle School Board in 2013. He relishes the opportunity to be in service to all 1.6 million children in Washington state. If you start a conversation with Stephan about racial and social justice, jazz or travel, you’ll get an earful.
