Mr. Stevens grew up in Grand Valley, Michigan and attended Grandville High School. He attended the University of Michigan and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering.

He had a long career in industry focused primarily on automating machines – using computers to program industrial computers (PLCs & CNCs). His industrial career included employment at Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley), the Square D Company, and two of his own machine automation system integration businesses. Fun fact: In 1983, he designed and programmed the “modern” control system for the Grand Haven Musical Fountain.

Mr. Stevens has spent the last nine years sharing his experience teaching full-time at GVSU School of Engineering including Manufacturing Controls, Computer Programming, and Engineering Design.

Mr. Stevens and his wife Brenda attend Byron Center PRC.
