About Us

History is important. You’ve heard: “If you don’t know your history, you are bound to repeat it.”  At Folktale media, we believe there’s  a positive flipside to this saying: “Know your family history, build your family’s future.”

​

When researching how we could best help families preserve their legacies, we noticed that there were no Audio/Video legacy services on the market.  While scrapbooks preserve many wonderful memories of parents, grandparents, and great grandparents, they simply cannot preserve what many people enjoy most about their parents and grandparents. The way a parent laughs, the way a couple teases each other, and the way a grandfather tells a story are all valuable moments in need of preservation.

​

Our service provides a documentary-style feature-length film with professional quality production. Complete with our "travel to location" service, personalized prompts, generous amount of B-roll footage, professional editing, and a beautiful preservation and display case, our documentary is the finest legacy preservation service.

Founder

Hello! I am the founder of Folktale media, born in Louisiana where preserving family culture and tradition is part of our DNA.  From a young age I devoured biographies at a rapid rate: from explorers and master inventors, to famous authors and war heroes, I read them all. My love of stories was not merely limited to biographies, but histories of different countries, their music, and their folktales. 


As I grew older, I became increasingly interested in my own family history. The Cajun jokes and family stories told around my dinner table have played a fundamental role in making me the man I am today.  There are some characters in these stories I never met: I lost both my grandfather and great-grandfather without ever having met them. Rumor has it that I look like my great-grandfather, act like him, and even have the same nickname as him("Slim"). Unfortunately, I’ve never seen any video footage of him.  I’ll never be able to see him interacting with his wife, hear his laugh, or observe his mannerisms–but why should any other family have similar regrets? 
This is why I am dedicated to helping families preserve their stories. At Folktale we believe that if you “Know your family’s history, you can build your family’s future.”

Cofounder and VP Of Technical Development​

​

Hello there! I am the co-founder of Folktale Media, a Texas-born filmmaker with a profound love for family and a deep-rooted passion for storytelling. Growing up in a large household, I developed an appreciation for the rich tapestry of family life, which profoundly influences my work. From a young age, I was captivated by the art of cinema, often reenacting scenes from popular films with my brother. This enthusiasm for stories led me to pursue storytelling through filmmaking and media production. At Folktale Media, your life is the best story, and I am dedicated to helping preserve these stories for future generations.
