Bringing your history to life: Nothing does that better than a stunning coffee table book

that tells your story with AI-refined images and journalism-quality storytelling.

Digital images get lost in the shuffle. But a high-quality coffee table history book worthy of your story is something you can hold in your hands - and it lives on for a century.

​

Imagine telling the story of your proud history in a way that brings everyone together framed with the same history from all eras.

​

Whether it's a fraternity chapter, a sorority chapter or any other beloved institution that has touched the lives of legions of people over the years, a custom history book preserves that history - and frames it for every other new member for years to come.

​

One group. One history.

​

Award-winning investigative journalist has spent a career finding stories and images and weaving them together in a compelling, conversational way that makes these books hard to put down. Jeff can tell all the stories that make the mosaic of your chapter - and find other stories and images that no one even knew existed.

​

Custom chapter history books are a superb way to commemorate your major anniversary, ribbon-cutting for a new or renovated chapter house or as a gift for major donors.

​

Jeff has already completed custom chapter history books for chapters at premium universities such as USC, UCLA and Washington State. And he's published other non-fiction stories in books, films and news features in the Seattle Times. He spent a career as a television news investigative reporter at some of the best newsrooms in America. The recipient of more than 30 journalism and philanthropic awards, Jeff has been a leader in the journalism world, the winner of 10 TV news regional Emmy Awards, National Press Club, Associated Press, Investigative Reporters and Editors and more, has served as President of a major US journalism association, and as a judge at a number of acclaimed journalism awards including The Oakes Award at Columbia University. Jeff is also known for a keen design eye and knows strong marketing and outreach strategies for your book.
