About

Currently I am working on a few projects that have the common denominators of promoting things of value & the premise that it is better for others to talk about you than it is to talk about yourself. AGreatStory.org is now a 501(c)(3) that will feature primarily testimonial video from people that have been served by nonprofits or foundations. It will be a searchable video repository of Great Stories of how donated resources have been used to serve others. It will then be a resource for foundations or individuals to help make choices about where to give money, volunteer time or just to see encouraging stories. Great Stories that have been previously produced can be shared via links on this platform, key-worded and linked back to the featured organization. Curated videos will hosted at no charge, with the intention of acquiring funds for the nonprofit. Thank you for being an interested LinkedIn Connection or perhaps an in person connection, as well!
