Stephen started his career in Hollywood, crafting VFX for Marvel and Disney films, and award-winning television for Fox and MTV. The real shift came when he left Los Angeles to lead global content for Trek Bicycle—directing hundreds of athlete films, product launches, and campaign stories across more than 20 countries.
From dusty deserts in rural Africa to harvests on the mountainsides of Chile, from chasing bikes through back alleys in Tokyo to filming the distiller just up the road—Stephen has spent the last fifteen years embedded in real stories, in real places, with real people.
In 2017, he built Trestle to take that experience further. Today, it’s a lean, modular production engine—built to scale with each job, move fast, and deliver high-end visuals without the bloat. Whether it’s a one-man field shoot or a full team on location, Stephen leads with clarity, instinct, and an eye for what matters.
Clients include Zipp, Porsche, LiveWire, Bell, Kohler, Modelo, Bosch, and many more.
