WHO AM I?

As an internationally bestselling author, columnist, blogger, podcaster, award-winning teacher, and speaker, I wear a lot of hats, and I wear them well. Beneath them all lies a singular thread: the power of storytelling.

A 60-time Moth StorySLAM champion and 9-time Moth GrandSLAM champion, I teach storytelling to everyone from Fortune 100 businesses to the FBI, Santa Clauses to Olympic gold medalists, clergy members, attorneys, magicians, wildlife photographers, therapists, comedians, and the Mohawk Nation of Canada.

I also consult with advertising agencies, documentarians, filmmakers, writers, and more.
