Stephen Panus

Stephen Panus has been a publicist, sports marketing executive, artist, attorney, and motivational speaker. He has a history of working with champions—from Super Bowl winners to Indy 500 legends.

Yet, the only title that’s ever mattered to him is father. When his eldest son, Jake, was tragically killed at the tender age of 16 in the summer of 2020, Stephen's life imploded. Seeking to both survive and move forward through his grief, he wrote Walk On to confront his daily agony. Through his writing, Stephen experienced a renewed faith in living and regained purpose. In Walk On, he shares his journey and guides readers through universal struggles. Stephen and his wife, Kellie, live in Connecticut with their son, Liam, and foster daughter, and two dogs.
