His parents were Greek immigrants from Kalivarion (now Guzelyurt), Cappadocia, of Asia Minor into Greece. He came to the USA in his teens, went to school and worked as an engineer for 30 years. He traveled worldwide, including North America, Europe, China and Brazil. He is now retired. He currently lives in North Carolina with his children and grandchildren and travels to Greece annually to his home near Athens.
An avid historian, he and his now dead father collected the material for the historical and biographical book series: ANDROS ODYSSEY for thirty years.
The “Andros Odyssey” material resulted in an investigation by the Center of Cappadocian Studies, based in Greece, and the ancient migration of Greeks to Cappadocia from Andros has been corroborated by additional sources. As a result of this, the village of Kalivarion in Andros is currently in process of joining the already established sisterhood of Nea Karvali, Greece and Guzelyurt, Turkey.
Stavros is currently traveling, writing, painting, sculpting, raising his grandchildren and studying world history.view less
