Stephen, affectionately known as Rivers, has gracefully transitioned from being a repair shop manager and autocross enthusiast to a full-time writer. He’s unleashed his literary prowess on a number of publications like CarsForSale, AutoEvolution, HotCars, VINSmart, BadVIN, and a plethora of other small businesses brave enough to handle his wit.

These days, Stephen spends his time on Carscoops sleuthing for top-secret intel on how automakers and customers interact while daydreaming about tearing up the race track. If you stumble into his garage, you’ll spot a Ford Flex Limited, a MINI Cooper S Countryman ALL4, and a classic 2004 Lexus IS200 that refuses to give up its manual transmission. And when he’s not weaving tales, you might catch him doing some ministry work, dominating the hockey rink, or cruising on a bicycle — because life’s just too short for monotony.
