Meet the Writer
Hi, my name is Jeremiah Kalb. I’m a husband, father, and writer.
You’ve probably reached the stage where you realize a life story, perhaps your own, is at risk of being lost. Or it’s a parent’s, a spouse’s, or a grandparent’s story. Either way, people deserve more than a few scattered memories and photographs. They deserve dignity, a narrative, and a legacy their family can hold onto forever.
I understand the pain of an untold story.
My own grandfather, my hero, died without his life story written. I was the writer in the family, but I let that opportunity slip by, and it still haunts me. There will never be a book to hand my kids to guide future generations. That regret is heavy, and I never want another family to experience it.
I also know the opposite feeling. I still remember when a hospital CEO asked me to write the career history of an OB-GYN who had just received a terminal diagnosis. We sat together for ninety minutes. I took notes and turned them into a 3,000-word narrative that was presented to the doctor that very evening at a medical staff gathering. His story was captured, honored, and shared. He passed away six months later. He was 54.
This is why I do what I do.
Over the past 16 years, some of my subjects have included homemakers, business leaders, an environmental epidemiologist, a crop duster, a tombstone designer, a 103-year-old great-great-grandma, a sushi roller, a Romanian immigrant, doctors, and many more—including a memorable story featuring legendary actor Gene Hackman.
I care about this work because untold stories don’t just disappear; they leave families with questions, not answers. Blank pages don’t scare me—losing stories does.
Here's what I can do for you:
