I am a storyteller. I am here to entertain, interact, educate, and build onto your reality by weaving my enthusiastically true or fantastical tales...

We, the storytellers, have existed since the dawn of our species. Now, instead of telling stories at the light of a campfire, we have evolved and adapted with technology to tell them through that wonderful light box in your living room – your TV. Everything that informs your reality, from CNN news to Spongebob Squarepants, is a story. Regardless of whether the story is part of perceived reality or fabrication it is still told from a specific viewpoint. In short, we have surrounded you in many forms. We are here to do what all of our predecessors have done: tell tales to entertain you, to educate you, inform your reality, and provoke communication and thought.
