In 1985, while attending university, he met Pat Dwyer, who would become his future husband. In 1993, the couple relocated from Texas to New York City.

From 2013 to 2017, Mosher was a contributing columnist for the internet magazine EDGE, as well as providing content for the EDGEONTHENET website, on the subject of health and fitness. In 2014, Mosher completed his course of study and became an ACE certified personal trainer and an American Red Cross certified lifeguard. In 2016, Stephen Mosher published his memoir, Lived in Crazy, which focuses on his life, family, and the creation of The Sweater Book. In 2017, Mosher made his New York City nightclub debut at the Don't Tell Mama club and restaurant. In the 80-minute show titled The Story Teller, he recounted his life in songs and stories. Journalist Bart Greenberg of Cabaret Scenes Magazine called the show a "surprising cabaret debut" and praised Mosher's "pleasant voice that flowed between a whiskey tenor and a Bea Arthur baritone". From August 2019 until the end of 2023, Mosher was the editor and head writer for BroadwayWorld Cabaret. In this position, he wrote reviews, conducted interviews, and oversaw the team of correspondents covering live entertainment in New York City. For the year that the nightclubs of Manhattan were closed due to the pandemic, Mosher created content every day with reviews of online entertainment and CDs, interviews, playlists, and feature articles. During his tenure at BroadwayWorld, Stephen photographed the likes of Chita Rivera and Vanessa Williams. Stephen Mosher returned to acting for the 2023 feature film Evil Sublet, written and directed by Allan Piper and starring Jennifer Leigh Houston and Sally Struthers. In the film, Mosher played opposite his husband Pat Dwyer. In addition, Mosher had a career in event coordination for six years, handling both private and corporate parties, in addition to weddings.

In 2011, Mosher and his husband, Pat Dwyer, celebrated 25 years of partnership by getting married in every American jurisdiction where same-sex marriage was legal at the time. This journey was documented in the film Married and Counting (2013), directed by Allan Piper and narrated by George Takei, featuring original music by Jennifer Houston. Mosher and Dwyer hoped that the film, as well as their YouTube channel, would help promote gay rights and marriage equality.
