Reflecting on his career at SCCTC, Stephen emphasizes, "I could never replace Mr. Louis Cavallaro , and I never have attempted to. What I CONTINUE to do is uphold the PRIDE, TRADITION of EXCELLENCE and carry on passing this 'gift' I had received and cultivated over the years to benefit young people in the Clark County schools who wish to continue in the automotive service field by giving them the BEST that I have...every day. This is my 33rd year here and with a few years left, I want to keep doing what we all here do BEST-to show others hungry to learn and do, the way things should be done and why it remains important to do so."

Stephen's dedication to SCCTC is unwavering. "CTC is a place that just gets inside of you, never letting go. This is my home. Has been since 1976. My two daughters grew up around these halls; everybody knew them then and now. I am always proud to tell anyone I meet where I teach."
