Growing up I was the kid in class that always got in trouble. I talked too much. I knew everyone, and I relished being the class clown. Then I grew up, but thankfully, I have yet to change. I am still a talker; I just know better now: I've made storytelling my living. I am the veteran of two national lobbying firms. Simply put, I made friends every day for a living. I have planned events that would make a reality TV producer blush, briefed executives and politicians about your life story in minutes, and worked on campaigns you've heard about in the news.
