In my role as “the family historian”, early on I developed a passion for preserving and displaying my family’s (and later friends’) photos, video and film. I started Your Memories At Hand© in 2011 first of all, to help individuals, families and communities utilize their memories to tell their stories, and secondly, to help folks to get their media in shape: what I call D.O.R.P.S: Digitize, Organize, Restore, Preserve & Share. At the same time, given that I’ve been self-employed for over 30 years, I recognized that while families have stories to tell, so do small businesses. Unfortunately, most marketing firms are geared toward big companies with prices that are out of reach for the small business. And while do-it-yourself web services are great for business cards and brochures, there is precious little else that tells your business story in a cost-effective way. So, in 2014, I launched Your Biz Story Told© to help small businesses and individual entrepreneurs showcase their company’s products and services in a cost effective way.
