Professional career
Recently, Stock exposed the details behind the relationship between the principle executives of Google and NASA Ames. That relationship allows Google's principles to park their private airplanes on taxpayer property. The story prompted U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley to call for a congressional investigation.[1]
Stephen uncovered widespread unregulated fracking in the state of California, which triggered action on the part of Governor Jerry Brown to announce closer scrutiny of the practice.[2]
Stephen and the investigative unit uncovered questions about a toxic EPA superfund site and its effects on residents living over it in Mountain View and Moffett Field, CA.
He also has investigated a rise in the number of mid-air close calls between airplanes over San Francisco Bay.
He is also a member of IRE, Investigative Reporters and Editors.[3]

In total, Stephen has almost thirty years of journalism experience, and has also worked for WYFF in Greenville, SC, WECT in Wilmington, NC, and WDBJ in Roanoke, VA.
