Biography
Stier is the son of Serena Auster Stier and Dr. Herbert A. Stier.[1] His mother is a mystery writer and adjunct assistant professor of law and art history at the University of Iowa; his father was an orthopedic surgeon in Los Angeles.[1] He has a B.A. from Yale University and a J.D. from Stanford University.
In 1982, he worked on the staff of Republican Congressman Jim Leach; in 1992, he clerked for Chief Judge James L. Oakes of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit; and in 1994, he served as a clerk for Justice David Souter of the U.S. Supreme Court.[2]
In 1995, Stier joined the Washington D.C. firm of Williams & Connolly where he was part of President Bill Clinton's defense team during the 1998 Monica Lewinsky scandal.[2]
Stier was always concerned with the quality of government workers and was able to convince hedge fund manager Samuel Heyman to contribute $25 million to start up a non-for-profit dedicated to attracting qualified young people to government service, the Partnership for Public Service.[3][4]
Personal life
Stier has married twice. In 2004, he remarried to fellow Stanford University law student Florence Yu Pan at the New Zealand embassy in Washington, D.C.[1] In 2016, President President Obama nominated Pan to serve as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia[5] but her nomination expired in January 2017 with the end of the 114th Congress. She was not re-nominated by President Donald Trump.
