Patton Dodd
author and comms guy
Substack
I post twice a month to Storytelling, my newsletter on the personal and community stories that shape us.
Book
The Father You Get is my memoir about how we're formed by our families for better or worse—and how we keep forming ourselves and those around us. It's funny and moving, and it reads fast. Or so I'm told.Listen to it on Audible or pick up a hardcopy wherever you like to get your books.
Everyday work
I'm the executive director of storytelling and communications for the H. E. Butt Foundation. I live in San Antonio, Texas, where I also run one of the foundation's programs, a storytelling initiative called Know Your Neighbor that seeks to bridge our city's economic divides.
