Stephen Brodie was born in Dallas, TX, on March 9, 1974. He is the oldest of three children, including brother James and sister Brandi. Growing up, he was an avid reader, and from an early age, he began to write short stories and poetry. He has published nearly 40 poems, both in print and online, many in places he would rather no one knew about. One of his poems was published by MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), becoming the first ever to be published in it's survivor newsletter.

In 1994, Stephen founded Illya's Honey, the quarterly literary journal that he both edited and published until 1998. At that time, due to time constraints caused by the acquisition of a "real job," Stephen turned full control of Illya's Honey over to the Dallas Poet's Community, who continues to publish it today.

In 1994, Stephen gave birth to a daughter, Autumn. Oh, no, wait. He didn't actually give birth to her, but he was somewhat involved in the process of conception. From that point to this, he continuously strives to set a good example for her, mostly by subscribing to the idea that what she doesn't know, won't hurt her. That's not true. They are very close, and she already has way too much dirt on him.

In 2000, after years of freelance work as a web designer, Stephen founded PerfectoMEDIA, a full-service design firm, in an attempt to channel his obsessive, perfectionistic energies in a useful direction. Although undiagnosed, he most certainly suffers from both OCD and ADD. He thinks. Of course, he was once... Oh, look at the shiny objects!

Since 2003, Stephen and Autumn have participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure twice a year, in support of breast cancer research. His company, PerfectoMEDIA, is also a supporter of this very important cause.

Eventually, despite being overtly shy all his life, Stephen began pursuing a career in acting. What started out as an exercise in therapy, quickly turned into a passion that has all but consumed him. Now in recovery from his affliction, he is having the time of his life, and taking it one day at a time.
