Stories can vivify, and the engagement experiences we give people with them can make the world.

In addition to my communications work, I:
• Do relationship coaching and officiate at weddings at openheartopeneyes.com, with a forthcoming book based on my work with couples.
• Serve as an Associate Teaching Artist for the national award-winning Arts and Health social impact pioneer kairosalive.org.
• Founded and lead the engagement theater for emotional and social healing, Minnesota Folktale Gardening Club.
• Perform as a folk musician.
Our times call for empathy, facts, enthusiasm, cooperation and a weaving together of community, as together we make change toward the common good. A healing intention, and personal and community cohesion are paramount. It’s time to tell our stories. What we say and how we say it matters.
Thank you for your interest.
