WHY THE GLOBE?
Growing up, I kept a toy globe next to my bed. Each and every night as I was going to sleep, my Dad spun the globe and I reached out to stop its eager revolutions. Wherever my finger landed, that’s where my bedtime story would take place. He weaved such intricate stories, I could never believe he was making them up on the spot. I often found myself so engrossed in the plot that I was wide awake by the time the story ended, but I didn’t mind.
Looking back, I suppose that was when I first knew I wanted to be a storyteller, I just didn’t know how. Cut to present day and I’m hungry for any storytelling opportunity I can get my grubby mitts on. Performing improv comedy is my vice of choice (perfect for the lazy storyteller who doesn’t feel like writing), but it’s usually supplemented by playing Dungeons and Dragons until two in the morning, crafting spec scripts for ridiculous sitcom pilots set in Antarctica, or writing ad copy that’s just weird enough to work. Regardless of the shape or form, I have fallen in love with creating and telling stories.
In my portfolio, each globe icon represents a story that I’ve told.
