Hey — I’m Stu!👋

Husband. Dad. Son. Bald.

Stu and Lisa Gray (My wife makes this pic ALOT nicer!🤣)

About me:

I’m a guy who grew up in the Midwest, moved to the south and never left!

I chased radio around the country as an on air personality (primarily).

I got married in my mid-twenties and nearly blew up my marriage with porn. Since then I’ve been learning what makes good relationships and working on myself to be the best Husband and Dad I can be.

My Wife and I are trying to create a Stupendous Marriage.

We’ve now been married for 22 years (in 2025).

I still talk into microphones on a regular basis — as a speaker, an audiobook narrator, podcaster and commercial VO talent.

I encourage, challenge, and inspire married couples to to keep moving forward together instead of giving up when it gets tough.

Beyond marriage, I believe that all of us humans are created for authentic intentional meaningful connection. Over the past several decades (and thru the pandemic) we’ve been drifting toward loneliness and isolation.

Thats not good for us.

Some things I’ve done:

  • Jumped out of a plane with the Army’s Golden Knights.

  • Performed Off-Broadway in NYC

  • Graduated college from an All Women’s College (interesting story)

  • Had a cool kiddo with my wife, he’s now nearly 20

  • Was a youth Pastor at 2 church plants

  • Taught theatre for a year and a half to middle schoolers

  • Created the Stupendous Marriage Podcast with My Wife

  • Been On-the radio in Kingman AZ, Wichita KS, Nashville TN, Cape Girardeau MO, Ft. Wayne IN, Huntsville AL, Savannah GA, and New Orleans LA.
