Raise A Glass To...Stephen!

Representing Green Bench Brewing from Sarasota to Orlando, Florida Stephen has been a key factor in our sales growth since he came on board. His journey with us has been marked by a strong commitment to the brewery, a good-natured approach, and a remarkable ability to turn complexities into relatable insights.

“Stephen has been an integral part of growing our Green Bench footprint throughout the state of Florida. His calm demeanor, friendly disposition, and trusted opinions have served him well in establishing great relationships with both retailers and wholesale partners. Throughout his years with us he's been a fantastic ambassador for our brand and someone we can always count on to do what's best for our customers,” says Owner, Nathan.

Stephen's impact on our brand's local presence is nothing short of excellent, helping GB reach and exceed goals. His calm and friendly sales approach has been instrumental in fostering relationships that go beyond transactions.

Sales Director, Cole says, “He’s the type of person you can talk to about anything and he would have something to say about any topic. He’s built and nurtured lasting relationships at the distribution houses he oversees, pushing sales to all-time highs, taking one of his territories from the back of the pack to the 3rd, almost 2nd best market for us.”

Beyond the realm of business, Stephen is the embodiment of warmth and approachability. His genuine kindness resonates with everyone he encounters, turning routine visits into uplifting experiences. Stephen also has a span of beer knowledge that benefits not only brewery, but also his accounts. This knowledge is not just confined to the technicalities of brewing; it extends to his innate ability to make these intricacies accessible to all. 

Cole notes, “Stephen is the nicest person around, you walk into any account that knows Stephen and they immediately light up. Stephen brings with him a wealth of knowledge to the role, and the ability to make complex things involved with brewing and cellaring make sense to the everyday person.”

Thank you for sharing your kindness and knowledge, Stephen!
