Stephen is of Irish heritage and grew up in the rolling hills of California. He moved to Seattle in 2016 and immediately found a sense of community with Irish Network Seattle. Working in brand marketing and storytelling he brings communications experience to the board to help share the events and community that bring our members together.

“I was born in Manhattan into an extended Irish-American family. All of my great grandparents were born in either Clare, Galway, Sligo, Mayo, or Waterford. I live in Redmond with my wife, Martha. Martha was the first non-Irish bride ever in my family but she immediately established her clan bona fides by giving birth to our first child on St. Patrick’s Day! We have raised three wonderful daughters who are now working in NYC, Salt Lake City, and Salem

I’ve had a deep, abiding interest in all things Irish since boyhood. Have made many trips to Ireland for both personal and business in my capacity as an international sales executive. I am a participant in the Glucksman Ireland House’s Diaspora Oral History Project at New York University. I am the co-author, with Danial Sullivan, of a college textbook on Small Business Management. I am CEO of the GovBizTeam, an advisory firm serving business enterprises wishing to sell products and services to government agencies.”

Amy is a Vermont native with many old family connections back to Ireland. An extended trip there 10 years ago brought her Irish heritage back to the forefront for her. Since then she takes every opportunity to learn more about Ireland’s history and culture. With 25 years working in the Seattle are tech industry, most recently at Starbucks, Amy’s related experience in all aspects of financial management made her a great fit for Board Member and Treasurer. She’s happy to be immersed in Irish culture, business and of course the social aspects of the Irish Network.
