About his new role leading IronWorks, Stephen said:
“I’m psyched to be back in the game, working with Publisher, Wade Ramsey, and the IronWorks crew. I’ve been reading IronWorks since 1990 and it has always been a great title. It’s an honor and a treat to be able to lead the charge and further develop the IronWorks name to its full potential by bringing even more great machines and stories to our loyal fans. My goal is to uncork the IronWorks’ engine, spool it up, and let it breathe. It’ll be great, fun, and entertaining – really a celebration of what we all love most about the machines.”
Leaving IronWorks will be Editor, “Daingerous” Dain Gingerelli, who has successfully lead the Editorial charge since founder, Dennis Stemp, passed away several years ago. Mr. Gingerelli, who has authored numerous hot rod books, intends to concentrate much of his time on book publishing and will remain a contributor.

On a personal note I’d like to thank Dain for the help and guidance he gave me over the years, it was a pleasure working with him. It was an honor to ride with him. Ride safe my friend.
Congratulations, Steve. From my years being associated with him, I am confident that Iron Works is in very capable hands. Dennis started a wonderful magazine and Dain did an excellent job keeping it true to its original intent, and as a loyal reader, I thank him for that. I am sure that Steve will take ahold of the bars, and steer the mag on. Best of luck to all involved.
Yo Steve – congrats on the new gig! Sounds like it’s a perfect fit for you (I like the work you’ve done on your FXR, btw).
