How often do we sit down with our spouses or our children and have the kind of recall that we’ve had here ... I’ve enjoyed it very much.
— Lee Krebs
You let me talk. People aren’t that much interested. I’ve poured my whole life out to you, more or less ... it was therapeutic.

About Me

Mark Edwards

In the year 2000 I traveled with my family in a motorhome for 14 months through the United States. I wanted to save all our wonderful experiences. I realized that many of the people I met and talked to while on the road also had no way of preserving these memories. I then started Audiobiography. This was a way to collect stories through a series of interviews and recordings that people could preserve well into the future.
