Pearsall, Sam
Sam is a retired ecologist with 35 years of experience planning and implementing land conservation and environmental protection in Maine, Tennessee, Hawaii, Samoa, and North Carolina. Since retirement, He has become an amateur storyteller whose practice is to tell tall tales and true tales based on his own experiences.
Sam has been a regular at the Front Porch Story Festival in Raleigh, NC, the Bynum Front Porch events in Bynum, NC, and Monti curated events and slams in central NC.
He founded and produced Roadhouse Storytellers® at the Pittsboro Roadhouse on US 64 in downtown Pittsboro. These storytelling shows entered hiatus when Covid-19 shut the Roadhouse down, but there will be a revival as soon as it is safe. The stories are generally edgy but family friendly true or tall tales.
We are all made of stories! Stories are what we remember, what we dream of, and how we think of each other. Every story has joy, wisdom, and truth in it. And every story is a whole world. As the author John Crowley said, “with any good story, the further in you go, the bigger it gets.”
