Our Story

My grandfather was 93 years old driving a bright red, brand new 2011 ford mustang. And when he passed away he left it to me. But I always tell people the most valuable thing my grandfather left me was his autobiography. A collection of his life stories since childhood and a glimpse into his life and the history of our family.

There is so much to learn from the stories and lessons he shared. As a grandchild it is such a gift to have these stories written down and be able to look back on them. Whenever I feel lost or unsure of myself I go back and re-read my grandfather’s book. Reading some of the stories and struggles that he went through has taught me so much about myself and given me some of the lessons I needed to overcome my own challenges.

My mission is to help others document their stories and share it with their loved ones, to share their lessons and wisdom with the younger generations. I wasn’t much of a writer but I have a camera and a microphone. And that’s how Stories of a Lifetime was born.
