He has been the treasurer of the US Wadokai Karatedo Federation since 2005, the chairman of the Ajari Cup Karate Tournament since 2005, and on the medical committee of the USA-National Karate Federation (pictured above) since 2003.

Stephen likes to play PAINTBALL (pictured left) in his spare time, and will happily take his patients paintballing with him. He likes to collect guns and recruit paintball players to play with.

He also enjoys reading science fiction, action, and fantasy novels, home improvement, and gardening.
