Stephenson holds degrees in biology from Lubbock Christian College and landscape architecture from Texas Tech University. He began his career in 1990 as an associate designer with Graham & Panks International, working on projects including Tierra Verde Golf Club in Arlington, Texas, before founding his own firm, The Linksmen (now Gary Stephenson Design), in 1997 following the partnership's end.
