Stephen Geisler, Music & Worship lLad 

Picture
Stephen joined St. Mark's Lutheran in February 2022, bringing a wealth of music experiences from both inside and outside the Church. Originally from Colorado, he grew up in Littleton in a very musical family and fell in love with music early on. He started playing piano when he was 5 and has continued picking up instruments ever since.

His undergrad is from Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in Liverpool, UK, where he studied contemporary music. Since then, he has worked as a self-employed musician and currently lived in Denver.

When he isn't working on Music, he likes hanging out with friends, and sampling local food trucks to his great delight. 

He looks forward to growing and developing the music program here at St. Mark's and welcomes people from all skill levels and experience to get involved.
