Great storytelling transforms lives. I’ve seen it over and over again. Whether it’s a personal story, a television special, or a professional brand, well-written stories break through the often-invisible barriers to connection, growth, and transformation. And every one of us has a valuable story.

I came from a long line of storytellers, and I’ve wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember. It took years, however, to fine-tune the art and science of crafting authentic, powerful stories that move people, create connection, and inspire action.

I was mentored by Grammy-winning artists and world-class storytellers during the first two decades of my career. During those years, I participated in the production, marketing, and scripting of dozens of award-winning television specials and feature-length productions, many of which topped Billboard video charts and were certified gold or platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Learning the foundational art of captivating storytelling opened up a wealth of other opportunities to write using all kinds of tools. I would discover that even mass communication can feel personal and specific using the power of a great story. Personal interviews, photojournalism, books, magazine features, podcasts, and digital media are among the storytelling formats I’ve had the joy of utilizing to create experiences for all kinds of audiences.

In 2017, I launched a second career as an independent creator. Since that time, I’ve had the time of my life serving individuals and organizations as a ghostwriter, scriptwriter, executive storyteller, course creator, and creative consultant. I’ve had the joy of helping clients turn their stories and ideas into books, documentaries, screenplays, podcasts, learning platforms, and leadership resources.

Collaborating with high-profile clients, first-time authors, thought leaders, executives, and survivors to tell their stories is the privilege of a lifetime. Equally satisfying is the work of helping both start-ups and well-established brands articulate their expertise and connect with their ideal clients through well-crafted content, bios, articles, and videos.

After more than 25 years as a professional writer, I remain an eager student of the ever-evolving tools available for sharing great stories. But throughout time, one simple truth remains unchanged: the history of this planet is, first and foremost, a human story. Every one of us has a story and a voice that deserves to be heard.
