Who is Mr. Z?
Hello, and welcome to the site of Mr. Z and Company, LLC. I excited to meet you. I was born June 11, 1987, in Broomfield Colorado. I am the son of Doug and Mikki Stier two of the best parents in the world, and I have a brother named Thomas. Thomas and I have our club named The Buddy Club. As a child, I had a vivid imagination, and I was always making up stories and putting on shows for my family and friends. I knew when I was young that I wanted to make an impact using the power of storytelling.
We moved a lot when I was younger across the United States and in each town we lived our first stop was the public library. Although I have many stories to share with you, for now, let me tell you how the public library helped shape who I am today.
When I was younger, my father and I took me to the public library with a red wagon in hand. It was his goal to go home with enough books that could fit in the red wagon. As a child, the public library was a place where I could escape into the worlds of the books read to me. The library continues to be a place where I find myself going both for my job as a children's librarian and as a patron.
