Welcome to the Storymasters Blog

The last several years have been an exciting journey for me.

I moved from an energizing freelance directing career, to a Senior Creative post at a Toronto-based integrated communications firm. From there, I aligned with a handful of like-minded people and opened a creative services firm of my own.  Our collective core genius: storytelling.   

Like the others who have joined the team, storytelling encapsulates of all the things I love to do.  I'm a writer, a cinematographer and a graphic artist who gets a kick out of weaving all those disciplines together in creative, memorable ways.   

Had I connected the dots sooner, I would have drawn a line directly to Storymasters many years ago.  But I'm also a believer that you have to wander down many paths in life in order to land confidently on the one that's right for you.   Experience, no matter what kind, is a good thing.

Since the launch of Storymasters, the progress we've made has been remarkable.  We went from zero to full throttle in a matter of weeks.  The more we talk to people about stories, the more energized we get. 

So, 2008 promises to be a great year on many fronts.  The first and perhaps most obvious indication of forward progress is the birth of the Storymasters Blog.  As version 1.0 of the Storymasters website nears completion, it makes sense to log on and get used to this rather informal, yet revealing method of communication.  

Will the Storymasters Blog endure?  Only time will tell....
