Then, just over a year later, Stew launched the Shark NeverChange air purifier line and the Shark FlexBreeze fan family, navigating a critical HEPA supplier crisis mid-program without delaying launch, as revealed on his seriously impressive LinkedIn page.
He was promoted to senior engineering manager by 2021, and is now the director of engineering for Shark. As of January 2025, Stew helped to extend the portfolio into the Shark BreatheClear air purifiers and Shark TurboBlade fans while expanding into heaters.
