Panus, Stephen: - Stephen Panus has been a publicist, sports agent, artist, attorney, sports marketing executive, and motivational speaker and serves as president of the Jockey Club's America's Best Racing brand. Yet the only title that's ever mattered to him has been father-to his two boys, Jake and Liam.When his elder son, Jake, was tragically killed in the summer of 2020 at the tender age of sixteen, Stephen's life imploded. He wrote Walk On to confront his daily agony, inspire a renewed faith in living, and regain purpose. Stephen and his wife, Kellie, live in Connecticut with their son, foster daughter, and two dogs.
