“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.” Philip Pullman

I’m a storyteller. I tell my story, other people’s stories and help other people tell their and others’ stories.

I believe in the power of story to change the world by connecting people with one another, with new experiences, new points of view, new ideas or simply inspiring them to do more and to be more.

Everything I do is in service of my donor. In 2007 I received a life-saving, life-changing double-lung transplant that has allowed me to see and do so  more than I ever dreamed I could.

Life for me is about being comfortable with imperfection: trying, failing, achieving and not stagnating. This is my daily promise to myself.

Live a story worth telling.
