Start writing

Once upon a time, I stood up in a Toastmasters Club with a simple goal—to improve my communication skills. There, I learned something powerful: personal stories create impact. Facts inform, but stories connect.

I began learning how to tell stories—first through speeches, then through writing. Over time, storytelling became part of my daily life, not only as a writer, but also in my career as an engineer and an organizational manager. Stories helped me explain ideas, lead teams, and connect with people on a human level.

Over the years, I have collected thousands of stories—from the workplace, from remote sites, from leadership moments, from failure and growth. Many of these stories were never written down. They lived only in memory.

At one point in my life, I was also an archer. I owned more than ten bows and, through archery, gained friendships, fellowship, and unforgettable experiences. Those moments shaped who I am today.

I realized something important:
If I do not write, these stories will slowly disappear.

That is the real reason I love writing—not to be famous, but to preserve experiences, honor people I have met, and leave a trace of a life fully lived.

Writing is how stories survive.
