John Agliata
Storyteller-in-Chief
Hi. My name is John, and I tell stories. I’ve told stories ever since I was a little boy. Those were often called “lies,” but I consider them the first sprouts from the fertile ground of a developing imagination. Now I get paid to tell stories. Currently, I craft the stories of the patients and physicians at Shriners Hospitals for Children — St. Louis.
