Jackson Stepanian is from Orange County California and moved to North Providence Rhode Island at a very young age. Stepanian says he is Rhode Island raised and Rhody is all he knows.

Stepanian’s “why” factor stems from his mother’s passing back in 2022. “Everything I do is because of her,” he says. Everything accomplished throughout his young career, he says, is all credited to his mother and the lessons she taught Stepanian all throughout his life.
