Stephen Zimmerman was born in a small town in west Texas. From Texas, to Oklahoma, Missouri and Africa, simplicity and modest living shaped Stephen's childhood. In 2006, Stephen joined the United States Air Force.  During this time, he served two tours in the Middle East and was awarded a Commendation Medal, seven Air Medals, and the rank of Staff Sergeant. That same year Stephen also met his wife Leanna, and they were married in Spring 2007. Together they have four children, two dogs, and six fish tanks. In 2012, Stephen graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies and began his pastoring career in Arizona in 2015.

When not with work or family, Stephen enjoys devouring True Crime, psychology, and anything mysterious. This passion has blended those elements into a love for writing stories of his own.
