Nationally known Storyteller Kevin Cordi has told stories and taught the art of storytelling in over 40 states, England, and Japan. His story work has been commissioned by The Kennedy Center, National Youth Storytelling Hall of Fame, and Newsweek. He is the co-author of award-winning book Raising Voices: Youth Storytelling Groups and Troupes. He has a Masters in Storytelling and Education and is a Storytelling World Award Winning Recording Artist.

Kevin listens everywhere he goes. He keeps an ear to the ground so that he can hear the stories of America and beyond---he tells the stories he hears. Kevin shares the stories of people such as Mooney Warther, considered the greatest wood carver in the country and the legendary Chocolate Bar Bomber and his air drops during the Berlin Air Lift. He listens and tells the stories he hears. Kevin uses his experience and critical listening skills as the landscape for teaching and developing stories. He believes good storytelling begins with effective listening.

Kevin has worked as an actor, teacher, door-to-door salesman (at age 14), disc jockey and gas station attendant. He believes this only enriches him as a storyteller and story teacher. These days, you can find Kevin on the Ohio State University campus, where he both teaches and is a Ph.D Candidate in the Drama, Literacy, Language Arts, and Reading Program.
