About David G. Oneil

As a personal historian, I save lives—one story at a time. I help families, businesses, and organizations tell their remarkable stories in ways that create a lasting legacy. After missing the opportunity to document my parents’ life stories, I started Story Trust to help families honor their loved ones by recording and preserving their life stories—as memoir books, oral-history recordings, and documentary videos. I have been a high-school English teacher, book editor, video producer, and publishing executive. I earned a BA in economics from American University and a master’s degree in theology from Harvard University. I am also a frequent speaker on the topic of personal history and have been quoted in The New York Times, Kiplinger’s Retirement Report, Reuters, and Boston-area newspapers and magazines on the value of personal legacy. Specialties: Memoirs, Biographies, Ghostwriting, Books, Oral Histories, Family Histories, Family Legacies, Business Histories, Writing, Editing, Self-Publishing I am also a Certified Financial Education Instructor (CFEI®) and have been volunteering at a local middle school to teach personal financial management to student and their parents.
