Seidel grew up in Bucks County, PA where he loved watching the Phils & Birds! He interned at Merck & Disney World's College Program, before getting his BSIE from Penn State University. After graduation, he packed up and left Delta Upsilon fraternity for Austin, Texas for an engineering job at Motorola's Semiconductor's Product Sector.

Shortly thereafter, Seidel shifted into entertainment and took a bite out of the Big Apple, by working with world-renowned Milk Studios & House Production.
Los Angeles was his next stop, where he started his own production company, Renegade Reporting. Videos have been featured on HuffPost, CNN, Fox Business, Crave Online, MSN.com (70 eps), Blip.TV (24 eps) and even landed him as creator, producer & host of E! Online's 'What the What'.

Next Stephen joined digital media venture, Beamly, equity partners with NBC, Viacom & Comcast, to become the fastest second screen app to reach 1M downloads. They were then acquired by COTY.
