Michael, his wife Jodi, and their daughter Kathryn Rose reside in Bear, Delaware with no pets (sorry). However, they do have lots of books and board games, three folk harps (made by Michael), a handful of penny whistles, and Jodi’s bohdran (an Irish drum).

Michael is a minister and professional storyteller; Jodi (Dr. Forestieri, Ed.D) is an instructional coach with a local school district, and Kathryn Rose is just plain adorable.

Kathryn’s interests range from sports to sacred dance, and from making up funny stories to creating and singing worship songs; not to mention drawing, tree-climbing, and having foot races with the wind.
