Stephen heads ERS research, ERS methods, and the strategic school design practice area. He is the coauthor with Karen Miles of The Strategic School and is currently working on the sequel regarding strategic school systems. Since joining ERS, Stephen has led or co-led projects in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Rochester, Syracuse, and elsewhere.
Prior to coming to ERS, Stephen was a management consultant at Bain & Company in Dallas. He has also taught education and public policy classes for institutions including the Broad Institute, New Leaders for New Schools, Brigham Young University, and Duke University’s Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy.
Outside of his work, Stephen reads and reviews fantasy literature and is the chief blogger and resident snarkist at fantasy literature.com, which has rapidly become one of the largest fantasy book review sites on the internet. He is also an aspiring fantasy novelist. “My entire family has a storied history of making up their own reality,” he says about his passion. “But where they are merely talented hobbyists, I’m training to go pro.” When Stephen is not spending time with his family, he likes to take long walks and short jogs in his neighborhood in Murphy, Texas.
