Once upon a time I was a political activist working in the areas of housing, civil rights, education and support for working people. Then I was an arts activist, running a theater for a decade engaged in national and international discussions of cultural democracy.  The digital media revolution came to my world in the late eighties and my colleagues and I evolved a method of practice around helping people tell multimedia stories, we called it digital storytelling.  Those methods and models led me and my organization, StoryCenter, to 90+ countries, 1000s of workshops and projects, and 10s of thousands of individual stories. I retire here in 2025 as Executive Director, now a distinguished fellow with StoryCenter in an emeriti role.  Which means my four decades of learning about story, society and social justice is available in a consultatory and residency-based context for all those that might be interested.  How can I help you and your institution or organization?
