About/Timeline
This page is kind of a bonsai tree of sorts that I can prune and maintain. I think of it as a record of the creative milestones of my life and a way of remembering/archiving things for posterity. It’ll grow over time as I dig up old stuff. If you want my professional about page check out my portfolio.

This was a short I made with Noah Smith back in college.
Siloam Springs, AR
I went to college at John Brown University in this small town in NW AR and then got a job making Flash e-cards at DaySpring greeting cards after school.
Here I am at my desk at DaySpring. Apparently my fashion choices were set in stone 25 years ago.
Rock Springs, TX
My friend Dan Holcomb got a job as media director at a christian summer camp in the Hill Country of Texas called Camp Eagle and invited me to join him down there.
They offered me free room and board, meals and a little $ if I would make content for them 2 weeks of every month. I stayed for like 10 months.

LinkSpringfield, IL
I lived in my parents basement for a while. They were renting a place in the city while they built their next house in Hannibal, MO.
There was this gigantic decommissioned coal furnace down there with huge vents twisting in every direction. The air quality left a lot to be desired.

Ready for a bad time? LinkSiloam Springs, AR
Back to Siloam! I still had friends there and decided to move back. My parents drove me down and helped me move into my first solo apartment.
It was this giant space for like $300/month. Half of it was disgusting and/or unusable though.
The floor started to cave in while my family was visiting and the landlord had somebody crank it back up with this huge jack. Apparently somebody still lives there today though! Good luck!
