The man who gave me my most valuable storytelling tools died the same day I threw away his "Writing for Radio" handout. Then, a disappointing NPR tribute to him inspired me to look again at twelve years of notes.

Permission from Dad

Tom Tribute: Wreck Me

I don’t stand to inherit a great family fortune, but I used to console myself that I have a wealth of family stories. If times got hard, I thought, I’ll just write a book and cash in on the amazing tales of my ancestors. Because writers are known for being rich.

I didn't plan on finding the scary truth beneath the myths.

Harvester Of Sorrows

Jason's Head

Cover of a song I've been singing for a long time.

Mallo Cup (Britton's Lemonheads cover)

After fifteen years as a radio host, producer and then Executive Producer of a daily show on KUOW, Seattle’s NPR station, I am now telling my own stories. 
I co-founded the Tacoma-based live story show, Drunken Telegraph, to build community through storytelling. 
I also provide narrative consulting for non-profits, businesses and individuals.
I’m hoping to make the world a more compassionate place – one story at a time.
