PERFORMER BIOS
Doug Zeitlin
Creator, Producer and Host
Doug is a self-proclaimed dork, and in college he was named the "Star Trek Demi-god," although his delusions of grandeur would make him consider himself something more than that. Doug's inspirations in television field are Joss Whedon, J. Michael Straczynski, Gene Roddenberry (and Gene Coon), Aaron Sorkin, and J.J. Abrams. He considers himself quite well read in SF and its many sub-genres. Doug's inspiration in life is his young daughter who reminds him to always act his age. He is grateful for the support of his loving wife and that she lets him come out and play with his friends.
Jim Caswell
Sound Editor, Web Designer and Host
As a born-again Christian, librarian, writer and self-proclaimed Super-Geek, Jim has had a passion for movies, books and old time radio since childhood. As such, when he discovered that fans across the globe were creating their own Fan-Fic in various mediums, he knew what must be done. Jim has stated that the creation of TWERPs is a labor of love, combining almost all of his favorite pastimes into one forum. He wants to take the opportunity to thank all of the people that have enabled this production to come to life; both those who have contributed to this project and those that have inspired it.
Ken Hallaron
Special Correspondent
Ken Hallaron, known as "Kenn" to some, and is still called "Kenny" by half of his extended family. He calls Clare, IL home, and has lived in the DeKalb/Sycamore area most of his life, except for the four years he was matriculating at Rockford College, and that one year in Waukegan he really wishes he could forget. He is a programmer analyst when he's not turning his apartment into a recording studio (and while he IS turning his apartment into a recording studio, darn it.)
Matt Hallaron
Composer and Special Correspondent
Matt Hallaron was active in music and theatre throughout high school. His undergrad years focused on music (and math). After three years of graduate school in music composition (including electronic music and sound editing), he went on to that craft's most logical career choice: web design. He fortunately still has outlets to write and perform music, such as TWERP. He is happy to be able to work with old and new friends alike, as well as his ENTIRE immediate family with Eras. He lives in Chicago, IL and married his best friend and musical campadre, Amy, in May.
