We are partners in love and business—two word nerds who met while singing madrigals and went on to make professional lives in writing, editing, publishing, communications, and creative direction. We’ve managed to use our complementary skills to live, work, and dream together for more than twenty years with nary a flesh wound.
Why we do what we do
Brent seems to have entered this world with at least two core drives: a passionate love of language and a fervent desire for clarity. It’s no wonder that he started writing stories in fourth grade and that his eighth-grade nickname was “Mr. Logic.” He enjoys harnessing both of these drives to help people and organizations change the world by telling their stories.
Angela loves thresholds because that’s where change happens and the world is most alive. This fascination led her to work with story, whose core always revolves around change, and to study psychology and human potential, which taught her how to use empathy to shift people’s awareness toward the possibility of change. She relishes applying these skills for the greater good while helping clients do their best work.
