During the summer months while in college, Stephen would work in the office on sales and marketing projects as well as helping management define policies and practices to better help the business. During his senior year at Bryant University, Stephen split his time between managing the business and attending his college classes. In 2009, Stephen and his brother Brian decided to expand the family business and created Inspired Technology with a focus on integration and educating new and existing customers on what services and technology they could offer.

Stephen graduated from Bryant University with a bachelor’s degree in business management and minored in both computer information systems and psychology.

“Christopher’s Haven is an outstanding organization that Inspired Technology and Communications has been proud to partner with and support over the years,” said Stephen Rothwell. “I look forward to creating a long relationship with this important organization and find even more ways to collaborate through my work on the Board of Directors.”

Outside of work, David is a devoted father of two young children and an avid sports enthusiast. He and his wife Nancy live in Wakefield, Mass. and are passionate about teaching their children the values of kindness, philanthropy, and acceptance.

“Equity Residential’s commitment to community service is exemplified by its long-standing support of Christopher’s Haven’s critical mission to provide housing and compassion to those who are in great need,” said David Lane. “Our ability to play a part in providing homes to so many children and their families over the years as they undergo cancer treatment has been a rewarding experience for all of those involved. I am looking forward to being even more personally involved with this great organization.”

With this additional extensive experience coming to the Christopher’s Haven Board of Directors, the organization is hopeful and poised to provide a home and resources to even more children and their families while they battle cancer.
