Stevens joined the Lipscomb faculty as executive-in-residence and assistant professor of business in December of 2007, after retiring from 35 years as an active member of Nashville’s business community in banking, publishing, and printing.

Stevens’ career as an investment banker began in 1972 at Tennessee Securities here in Nashville. He left banking to start PlusMedia Inc., which created Nashville! Magazine and published five titles at the time Stevens sold the company in 1982. He then served for a number of years as president of Rodgers Capital Corporation, a Nashville-based investment banking firm.

Stevens moved from there to found a commercial printing company, formed from the acquisition of Williams Printing Co. That company grew to more than $240 million in revenues and facilities in 10 U.S. cities. In 2001, he co-founded the Harpeth Companies, a diversified investment banking and consulting company, which over the years has included various veteran professionals as advisory directors such as Winfield Dunn, former governor of Tennessee, and Jack Faris, former president of the National Federation of Independent Businesses. He retired from that company in October.

Stevens grew up literally two blocks from the Lipscomb campus in Green Hills. He attended David Lipscomb Campus School from kindergarten to high school graduation and then earned his bachelor’s in political science from Lipscomb in 1972. He went on to earn an MBA from the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University in 1981.

Stevens lives in Franklin with his wife Ann, a residential real estate broker at Bob Parks Realty. They have two sons, C.T., who is a certified public accountant with Ernst and Young, and Mark, who is an engineering student at Auburn University.
