My Short, Short Story: Like most kids, I loved stories. All kinds of stories. But I was partial to true stories. Like the "I Survived a Bear Attack" kind in Outdoor Life. So, I decided I wanted to tell stories for a living. I became a journalist to find good stories. I preferred magazine stories so I skipped over writing for newspapers for the most part. I found out that I like stories about people who start things: businesses, trends, brands. I've told stories now for almost 20 years. Now, I teach other people how to tell stories. And I write stories for people who just don't have the time or know-how to tell their own story. Because I'm a storyteller. And I've heard I'm pretty good at it.
