Darrell Mangum, storyteller

I am very accommodating and can adjust my performance to any setting.

It's been said of me that I can't answer a question without telling a story.
A friend once introduced me to a group by saying,
"If Darrell left this evening, and stayed over night in the smallest, most remote little town you can think of, he would come back the next morning and tell stories about his little trip for the rest of the day."
I've been telling stories my whole life, and if I were to name my greatest skill, it would be that I have the ability to hold an audience in the palm of my hand. Eye contact with everyone is my goal. I want everyone in the audience to feel like I'm speaking directly to him or her.
I want my audience to understand everything I have to say, I don't want them to miss a single detail. I'm good at communicating. That's what my audiences tell me.
I've been teaching and performing since forever.
I play the guitar and perform regularly.
I've tried my hand at stand up comedy.
I've presented a seminar on the relationship between humor and communication for many years.
I'm married to the very lovely Julie, and we have a wonderful family.
