The What & The Why

The What

Your Backstory is the defining moments, triumphs, heartbreaks, turning points, and quiet revelations that shape a person’s life and legacy.

Understanding your family’s backstory is key to knowing who you are — and where you came from. Essential to discovering the forces that have shaped you. The values that define you.

These stories can’t be recaptured once the teller is gone.

I am a skilled writer and interviewer who has developed a simple and meaningful process to unlock these stories through guided, one-on-one conversations.

In our hyperconnected world, Backstory chooses the path of authentic human connection. No screens. No digital tools. Just two people in conversation.

The Why

I take care of everything,
start to finish.

There is no time like the present; the unexpected happens and memories fade.

No writing experience required.

You or your family member just has to show up and have a conversation

The “right” time will likely never come.

The process is totally analog, no knowledge of technology needed.

You or family members don’t need to take on another project.

You can finally tackle your boxes, computer files, and photos and create something meaningful.

You or your loved one will have a meaningful experience with an attuned, interested, and active listener
