Core Philosophy

"Don't just grade my paper—show me how to get the A." This principle defines Stephen's leadership approach: back to basics, shoulder to shoulder, developing people who advance from entry-level positions to VP roles and beyond.

Our Northern Star

Jennifer was more than the heart of StormLogic—she was its soul. Her unwavering belief in doing the right thing, even when it was hard, guides every decision we make. Her love, her laughter, and her light continue to illuminate our path forward.

"She loved like no other person has ever loved you."

This work honors her memory. Every family we serve, every team member we develop, every community we transform—it's all in tribute to the woman who taught us that excellence and compassion aren't opposites, they're partners.

The Divine Weirdos Council

Meet Winston, Bob Barker, and Bernie—the three wise dogs who keep Stephen grounded, humble, and occasionally well-fed (they're excellent food thieves). They've witnessed every strategic plan, heard every client call, and judged every business decision from their hardwood headquarters.

"Stephen is a good man. He gives us treats, belly rubs, and scrambled eggs on Saturdays. He listens when we bark. He shows up when we sit by the door. He works hard so we have a good life — and we know it."

"And when it comes to his clients? He'll chase down your cash flow, your pipeline, and your purpose like we would chase a bone. That's loyalty. That's instinct. That's StormLogic."

— Winston, Bob Barker & Bernie (The Pack)

Their presence reminds us that the best leadership is authentic, present, and never takes itself too seriously. Plus, they're excellent judges of character—if the dogs don't trust you, neither should you.
