The Current
Staff Spotlight: Stephen Moros MARCH 2019

Stephen Moros followed a winding road to get to MARCH 1
his chosen career as a recruiter, and it all started National Employee
with tennis. Appreciation Day

Stephen began playing tennis when he was just MARCH 1
four years old. By the time he was 16, he was on Small Changes
the U.S. National team, traveling the world to play Challenge Begins
matches. In just one year, he travelled to 22 different
countries. “I would be mailing in my homework MARCH 7
from Japan,” he said. After graduating from high Burn n Earn
school, Stephen attended Georgia Tech on a tennis “Walking on Sunshine”
scholarship where he studied business finance.
MARCH 21
Upon graduation, he moved to London to play professional tennis and spent Learn n Earn
the next year and a half playing tournaments across Europe before retiring. “Smoothie Secrets”
He was then hired to be a hitting partner for Serena and Venus Williams, and by Health Fit
once again travelled the world playing tennis.
MARCH 31
Throughout his years of tennis, Stephen found dance was his stress reliever and Winter Walking
became involved in the salsa scene while in Europe. “Dancing brings people Challenge ends
together,” Stephen said. “No matter what your differences are, when you
dance, you forget about all of them. It’s a universal language.” LOOKING AHEAD

After a while, he began wanting to do something with his degree and got a APRIL 1
job in finance in Manhattan. Not long after, a friend suggested he think about Spring Walking
going into the recruitment field. Stephen spent the next six years once again Challenge Begins
travelling Europe, only this time as a recruiter. He eventually found his way to
Orlando working for Disney, where he met his wife who was living in Sarasota APRIL 1
at the time. Stephen is out of his professional tennis days now, but the lessons Stairwell Trivia
he learned along the way have stuck with him. Begins

“Tennis taught me that there is always more than one way to do something,”
he said. “There are always multiple solutions to any problem, you just have to
figure out which one is best.”

Monthly Motivation

“You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that
is said to you. If words control you, that means everyone else can control you.
