Stephen has been employed with AgriGro since 1988 and has served as President of the Company since 2005. He is now a 2nd generation owner of the company in partnership with his brother, Shannon.

Growing up on the family farm, Stephen began his career working beside his father who founded the company in 1980 and has been part and witness to the growth and transformation that has taken place since its beginning.

Stephen has helped lead the expansion of AgriGro from its humble beginnings and focussed his career on branding and building a prebiotic line of products that work in harmony with nature to improve the world we live in for generations to come. As a result of his efforts, AgriGro has grown from a single product offering to a growing line of Nutritional and Prebiotic technologies.
