At college, he met the love of his life, Kerry Richardson. They began dating in 2001, married in 2007, and have one son, Harrison. After graduating from college with a bachelor’s degree in political science, he attended Vanderbilt University and earned a Master’s of Divinity. Fortunately, he and Kerry were able to move back home to West Virginia after graduation.

Stephen Baldwin serves as Pastor of Ronceverte Presbyterian Church. Kerry worked in hospitality at The Greenbrier until 2021 and now is a local real estate agent. As a family, they spend a lot of time outdoors–fishing, golfing, kayaking, and hiking.
