Island Dream

Stephen hails from Trinidad and Tobago but today he calls Chesapeake, Virginia home. No wonder this island cutie knows how to turn up the heat.

The Definition Of Hot

At this point, we’re one-hundred percent certain that Stephen’s picture can be found in the dictionary somewhere between “gorgeous” and “hunk”.

Free To Love

“In Trinidad I enjoyed feeling free, walking to the beach, climbing coconut trees and drinking coconut water, also picking the fruits from different trees, just enjoying life,” says Stephen. “I left Trinidad when I was eight years old and came to the USA.”

A Man Of God

“God inspires me to keep going when I feel like giving up,” Stephen admits. “I pray to God to cover me, protect me and to move me forward. And faith is my foundation. Simply believing I can is the only belief that serves me.”

Spiritual Connection

“The perfect date to me is when I take a woman somewhere she has never been, see a pleasantly surprised expression on her face and then enjoy a spiritual connection with her,” says Stephen.

Surrounded By Love

“In my childhood, I liked spending time with my family and holidays,” Stephen recalls. “I remember being surrounded by lots of love and having a lot of fun.”

Good Living

“I don’t just work out,” Stephen says. “I also watch what I eat because eating too much sugar slows down your metabolism and some studies have shown that it’s the number one reason cancer lives in our body.”
