Will they genuinely know what was important to you?
Or will they make it up?
The time to write and preserve your own personal story is now, while you have your health.
I can help you collect the fragments of your life in words, images, and video.
Then we can assemble into story productions in various formats, such as a personal website, video montage to show at family gatherings, a secure multimedia portal, and/or a printed book.
Most of the Story Productions I have created so far have been personal stories, initiated by the person or by a family member.
Collaborate with me to capture and preserve the stories, photos, video, and audio in Google Drive folders.
I can conduct interviews and facilitate family storytelling sessions. You never know what will come out of the woodwork!
Then we organize our content into various story productions in different formats. Simple photo and video montages are good for presenting at memorials, weddings, anniversaries, and other special occasions.
A personal or family website is perfect for sharing stories publicly.
It is also possible to have the family update and expand the content over time, making the website a living legacy.
A Life Vault is a multimedia portal that supports multiple levels of access, allowing you to share only certain stories with family and friends.
The stories can also go into books that can be printed or viewed as eBooks and Flipbooks.
Let’s start with identifying and capturing the most important stories.

Over the decades, I have helped many people and companies achieve their project goals.
Often, it started with a request for help doing something I may not have done before. Many of the tools and skills I have now came from figuring out how to help people.
Past Adventures
Here are some of the adventures that came from saying yes.
Selling How to Coach Baseball to Kids VHS tapes and CDs.
Cancer Benefit Concerts.
Many websites across niches, including botanical gardens, choirs, concerts, theatre productions, bands, real estate investors, natural health companies, and dozens of my own projects.
Project Management stints during the Smoke and Mirrors Venture Capital boom of the last millennium. One took me to Hong Kong with a company that wanted to do online trading.
Some Technical Writing gigs.
Software development for a large consulting company and my own clients.
A singer in a band I was in was a PhD candidate for Applied Psychology. A request to help compile a BASIC program led to over twenty years of developing and supporting psychometric assessment systems for hiring and development. At one time, every person who applied to work at TELUS took a Values In Action assessment we designed for them. Ka Ching! Our most comprehensive system was a Management Assessment for senior managers and CEO candidates. The owners aged out and resisted succession, or we would still be running the service today.
Some quirky music videos with musicians I played with.
Videos for concerts, theatre productions, food recovery, urban farming, botanical gardens, family events, weddings, and much much more.
Sizzle reels for speakers.
Promotional and training videos on many topics.
Many online interviews with people who have interesting stories and offers.
A wide range of personal and family story productions.
Video interviews with pioneers of the Natural Health industry.
Comprehensive marketing, including landing pages, social media, blogging, and email.
Formatting and publishing books in print and other formats.
Online courses.
Live events such as concerts and coffeehouses.
At one choir concert, I engineered the sound, used three video cameras, and sang in the choir. I could control the mixer with my phone and popped out from time to time to check the balance.
Do you and your family members have interesting stories to share?
Did your parents or grandparents have some adventures that few know about?
Want to capture the stories while you still can?
Create a Family Anthology
A Family Anthology is a collection of biographical information, life journeys, and interesting stories from and about your family members.
Family events such as family reunions, weddings, anniversaries, and holiday gatherings provide opportunities to capture information and stories.
A notebook and smartphone are all you need. Zoom and StreamYard are great for conducting interviews and conducting stories.
I can help you with all of that.
Publishing a Family Anthology
I can produce the Family Anthology and publish it in various formats, including a family website, print book, Kindle eBook, flipbook, video, audiobook, and a secure Life Vault.
Choose the formats that work best for your family.
You can start with just one family member and add more later.

The Capture Your Family Stories While You Still Can! book provides a comprehensive guide to why capturing stories is important, many examples of stories we have captured, strategies for collecting the stories, and ways to share with family and friends.
