Stephen J. O’Shea is a writer, researcher, and filmmaker.
After completing his PhD in Glasgow, Scotland, O'Shea set sail with his long-time friend and navy veteran, Taylor Grieger, for Cape Horn - the Mt. Everest of sailing. Having survived that feat (and documented it on film, to boot) he's now writing and producing stories through a number of mediums, including the documentary film Hell or High Seas. His first book, From the Land of Genesis, was released in 2020 by Unsolicited Press, and he works now as an independent filmmaker and the lead writer of the Emmy award winning PBS television show, “Around Texas.”
