For Quinn Christopherson, storytelling is not just a passion, but a family tradition. Growing up in Anchorage, Alaska, Quinn attributes his love for crafting narratives to his rich heritage. With a mother of Ahtna Athabascan descent and a father who is Iñupiat, storytelling has always been a central aspect of his family’s traditions.
