I help companies tell the remarkable stories that communicate their value. I'm a storyteller, media consultant, speaker, and writer with an extensive background in broadcasting, theater, and stand-up comedy - I help companies get to "happily ever after" by telling great stories that build their brand, and communicate their value. It really is all about the story. Telling a great story attracts customers and drives the growth of a brand - crafting and telling that "signature story" that has your market beating a path to your door is my value, my passion, my mission in life. I studied theater at the University of San Francisco, American Conservatory Theater, HB Studios, and the American Comedy Institute, and during all that fun I embarked on a career in broadcast news and sports, covering stories for Dateline and Today, presidential campaigns, wars, presidential campaigns that turned into wars, NFL Playoff games, Stanley Cup hockey, and the NBA. My theater and improv training came in handy when I had to talk my way out of police custody in Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Shield in 1991. I talked my way out of jail, and then got to stay in Saudi for four months – I'm still not sure that was really a win, but it's a GREAT story! I honed my in-the-moment skills doing stand-up comedy, performing at Caroline’s, Gotham Comedy Club, Catch A Rising Star, and the New York Comedy Club. After facing drunken hecklers, corporate audiences are a walk in the park.
Your story starts with who you are, and why you matter...
