Author/Illustrator and founder of Storyteller Academy.
As a kid, I loved drawing and creating but, by the time I “grew up”…I was busy with life.
I had a responsible job, working for responsible people, doing responsible things.
Except I was ignoring that tiny, pestering, inner-voice. I kept telling it, “someday…” Until, I couldn't ignore it anymore.
I took a drawing class and the rest, as they say, is history. I did the work, put in the time (butt-in-chair, as I like to say), and now I can proudly call myself a published author/illustrator.
But, one thing still nagged at me. I had jumped into the journey headfirst and made all the mistakes. There wasn't a guide, a place to learn and grow and journey together.
So I created it.
Storyteller Academy is here for you. For that kid inside you begging you to tell your story. Pleading for someday.
Welcome.
