About Stephen Kilbreath
Fundraising Host. Emcee.
Event Producer.

Stephen Kilbreath began his career behind a microphone at 16, launching a broadcast path that would span decades across the Pacific Northwest.

For more than 20 years, Seattle listeners started their mornings with him. Stephen spent 13 years as co-host of T-Man in the Morning on KUBE 93, one of the region’s most recognized morning programs, and later joined Ichabod Caine and The Waking Crew on KMPS. His on-air style was recognized as polished, instinctive, and friendly.

Stephen later moved into television, serving as a weather and traffic anchor at KING 5, with additional roles at FOX 13 Seattle and KIRO 7. Across radio and television, he built a reputation for professionalism and presence.

When he transitioned into fundraising and live events, those same skills translated naturally to the stage. As founder of Kilbreath Events, Stephen has spent more than 30 years working with nonprofits, foundations, and schools throughout the Pacific Northwest to increase fundraising results and strengthen donor engagement. To date, he and his team have helped raise more than $100 million for truly incredible causes.

Across broadcast and live events, the through-line remains the same. Stephen’s experience and presence consistently inspire trust, engagement, and results.

ROOTED IN WASHINGTON

Stephen has called the Snoqualmie Valley home for years, and his connection to community takes center in every project he takes on. He and his team have partnered with hundreds of organizations helping them raise critical funds and deliver meaningful donor
experiences, from local foundations like the Kitsap Community Foundation and Anacortes Schools Foundation to nationwide groups such as the American Cancer Society, Junior Achievement and Girls On The Run.

Stephen provides professional hosting, auctioneering, event leadership, and strategic support that reflects the unique spirit and collaborative heart of the Pacific Northwest.

Stephen's passion doesn’t stop at the stage. He is the creator, host, and author behind Live The Final Third, a podcast and upcoming book exploring how people redefine purpose, health, legacy, and joy in the next chapter of their lives. Live The Final Third embodies the same storytelling instinct that has defined Stephen’s career as he turns toward one of life's most important conversations.
