After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.
Philip Pullman
I’m a storyteller passionate about finding, living and telling great stories.
My own story includes being a writer, speaker and filmmaker before I was a senior leader in the charity sector. I still write and speak, though. And make occasional videos for YouTube.
I’m also a transplant recipient and still live with the long-term impacts of cystic fibrosis. I come alive when I’m working towards enchanting people with new ideas or engaging them with causes or subjects they may never have heard of or explored.
I believe that all major decisions can be aided with a good cup of tea or a strong mug of black coffee. My favourite place for cocktails is a rooftop bar in Vienna. I once tried ice climbing and failed miserably. My favourite place in the world is a hidden beach on the west coast of Kauai with my wife next to me on the sand.
