Steph is dedicated to ensuring that every New Yorker can access healthy food through the worker-owned food distribution cooperative, Brooklyn Packers. His focus is on creating a blueprint for neighborhood-owned food hubs that connect QTBIPOC farms and aggregators with both communities in need and new markets. These hubs improve health and economic outcomes while promoting better nutrition. By envisioning worker-owned hubs that encompass wholesale, retail, and agriculture businesses, he works to create abundant job opportunities and promote year-round access to fresh, local, affordable, and culturally relevant food for all New Yorkers. By addressing basic needs and fostering community connections, he believes these hubs can help create more resilient, thriving neighborhoods. Steph resides in Poughkeepsie, New York, with his family.
