John promotes storytelling for all ages and shares stories that enhance literacy, Resiliency, and Community Connection in everyday life. His stories strive to include four key ingredients, which are that they be Memorable-Enjoyable- Repeatable-and Inspirational. His favorite stories to tell are those that resonate with humor, meaning, and significance.
