Founder & Owner at Solstad House
📍 New York, New York, United States

Stephen is a seasoned talent acquisition leader turned entrepreneur who left his Senior Director role at Omnicom Media Group to launch Solstad House. His shop, co-founded with his partner, focuses on handmade goods from small US-based vendors. People who have worked with him describe him as professional, a strong "turn-around" talent, and a hard worker.

Outside of his business, Stephen is deeply passionate about animal welfare, specifically rescuing and caring for a pack of senior-aged dogs. He moved to Beacon from Brooklyn in 2016 and grew up in Asheville, North Carolina. His personal mission of animal rescue is integrated directly into his stores operations through dedicated fundraising.

Interesting fact: The name of his store, Solstad House, comes from a quasi folk-pop band he played in while living in Brooklyn.
