The Staff

Well, the only staph this site sees is an infection, these days!

NAME: Min. Derek Salbourn
E-MAIL:Why?
LOCATION: Lawrence, Kansas
OCCUPATION: Tech Ed Teacher
DREAM MOVIE COLLABORATIONS: Acting alongside Alexz or Michael J. Fox (yeah right), and being directed by Kevin Smith or Quentin Tarantino.
INFO: After dropping out of high school, Derek persued a short lived acting career which included credits in such prestigious works as acting in a public access television presentation of "William Shakespear's Julius Caesar", where he played Marc Antony, and playing the character 'Swath' in Dave Brommels independent film "Jagged Edge", which saw limited release in Canada and Central America. He played drums in the independant bands "Forever In Blew Genes" and bass in "Orbit", sung vocals in "Blinded By Delight", "Forgone Cuntusion" and "The Shawn Jalbert International Dating Experience Part Two", amongst sundry other musical collaborations and endeavors. He was also the manager and stagehand for "Cold Hearted Swingers", and sang backing vocals on their cover of Linkin Park's "One Step Closer", which was on their demo tape. In 2005, Derek moved to Germany, where he once again returned to the stage, again acting in 'Julius Caesar', only this time portraying 'Brutus'. He also starred in a production of 'Death of A Salesman' as both 'Biff Loman' and 'Howard Wagner', the latter under a wig and slight prosthesis. For this work, a local German paper dubbed him "dieser amerikanische Schauspieler" and praised his accurate, table turning dual portrayals. The Austrian gazette 'Augustin' said of his performance "...simultaneously beautiful and repellant, the ability for him to almost echo the personalities, mannerisms and sensibilities between the two disparate characters while keeping them both distinct and separate adds to the tragedy and appeal of the show; one has to believe that if life had gone differently for Biff Loman, that if he had had that one great success, he may have turned more into the man Howard Wagner was, and contemplating that perhaps Willy had seen and known this fact, drives home an even sadder touchstone on the beloved classic.". He returned to The States in 2009 after completing his teaching degree.

NAME: Jick
E-MAIL: I Don't Think His E-mail Account Is Active Any Longer
LOCATION: Duluth, Minnesota
OCCUPATION: Database Analyst, Personal Trainer
DREAM MUSICAL COLLABORATIONS: Playing guitar in a band alongside Alexz (Singer), Flea (Bass), Lars Ulrich (Drums), and Mike E. Clark (Turn Tables).
INFO: Jick also dropped out of High School, but instead of becoming an actor, he moved to the Far East, more specifically Japan. After failing at several meaningless company exec. jobs, he moved back in with his parents. He joined Derek briefly in "The Disco Renegade" and "Orbit, before moving on to become a full-time member of "Cold Hearted Swingersl". Being the loyal friend that he is, he immediatly recommended Derek as the bands singe/guitarist, but Derek opted to be just their manager instead, though the band eventually convinced him to sing back-up vocals and lay down a few guitar tracks on their demo tape. Jick is now a self-employed personal trainer and also works for 'F Teks Inc' on a contractual basis. It should be noted that, aside from having his own personal little space here, Jick no longer has a hand in this site's development and has done no work for or on it since 2002, when he was forced to sign an exclusivity contract with a web developer.
