Growing up I got into a lot of trouble for "telling stories." Most of these stories were just poorly crafted attempts to cover up something that I had done that I shouldn't have done. My dad called them lies, I prefer to think of them as imaginative preferred outcomes. Little did my parents know that my annoying little fault would become a defining portion of my life. Now don't misunderstand me, I'm not a professional liar, I'm a story teller!
I was fascinated by anything that I could take apart, plug in or change the channel on. My parents took advantage of this...I was their first remote control! After my father had decided what he wanted to watch (by choosing from the TV listing in the newspaper), I would change the channel (we only had 3) and aim the large antenna on top of the house in the proper direction. Now some of you think I am ancient! I'm not. I grew up watching The Carol Burnett Show, Emergency, That's Incredible, Rockford Files and Magnum P.I. to name a few.
It just seems natural to me that as I have grown up I have continued to find ways to "tell stories" in good ways.
These days I spend my time creating a lot of different types of media, it may be corporate, educational, documentary or even live event media.
Since my days growing up as a liar, I have gotten married to an amazing woman and become the father of two wonderful daughters. We spend our days living the dream in Lexington, SC.
Do you have a story that needs telling?
