Working in the restaurant and bar business since he was 15, Stephen's real passion started after his first bar shift in 2004. It was at this time that he was introduced to cocktail bitters, a key bar ingredient, which would fascinate and continually inspire him to learn the trade. Tinkering at home and in bars, Stephen has developed a portfolio of cocktail bitter recipes, a myriad of tinctures, syrups, drams, sodas, and many other hand made concoctions that give his cocktails distinct flavor. Passionate about the classics, mindful of their simplicity, elegance, and restraint, he applies these methods to the modern cocktail.
Prior to joining Hundred Proof, Stephen spent 5 years running the bar programs for George’s at the Cove in La Jolla, California. He has also consulted for Nórtico, the first of it’s kind, pre-prohibition speakeasy bar in Tijuana, Mexico. Stephen also works hard to bring national attention to the San Diego bar community, serving as President of the local chapter of the USBG, and plans one-of-a kind guest bartending events both in San Diego and Mexico.
In his role as Hundred Proof’s Beverage Director, he is charged with continually evolving the bar program, mentoring the team, and creating imaginative and interactive programming to delight guests.
