Jon is our newest edition to the Art & Film team. As a Production Assistant, he is currently focused on editing film for one of Invisible Children’s newest programs: MEND. He doesn’t listen to the radio, has never had a broken bone, believes “The Flash” is unfit to be a superhero, and enjoys his fashionable collection of Gulu-market-wear. Though he basks in the glory of his childhood acting career (“Mayor of Munchkin City” in CYT’s The Wizard of Oz), Jon credits his early interest in film to his bum knees, which brought about an abrupt end to his sports star destiny. Tragic as that may seem, Jon quickly settled into a new area of expertise and Invisible Children is now lucky to have him. His short film credits include “Matted Fur,” the story of two mascots from rival high schools. Inquire within for an autographed copy.














Hailing from the quaint California mountain town of Idyllwild, Jared has been with Invisible Children since 2005. An instrumental force in IC’s operations, Jared helped form and manage the Visible Child Scholarship Program, one of IC Uganda’s three main programs. Having collectively spent more than two years working at our IC Gulu office, Jared now gets that warm and fuzzy returning-home-feeling each time he comes back to northern Uganda. As Programs Director, Jared coordinates and communicates between our US and Uganda offices to ensure that the on-the-ground programs and operations run smoothly. When he gets time away from work, Jared loves exploring the Ugandan countryside on his motorbike and watching movies. (His memory is encyclopedic when it comes to movie quotes and info; Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is child’s play for him!) Jared graduated from Biola in May 2005 with an art degree, and he is a talented graphic designer, photographer, and videographer.






























































Simon is from “the middle of nowhere.” Apparently, that is code for “North Yorkshire, England” – but, don’t let the small town vibe fool you. Simon is a celebrity in his own right. If you ever happen to travel up the coast of north England, look for a statue of his likeness, staring out to sea through a telescope. No joke. Also, he is consistently told that he resembles celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver. However, we’d like to set it straight that Jamie Oliver resembles Simon Maude. Fame aside, Simon is uniquely qualified for his position. Before joining IC, he spent two years touring with the organization, Roadtrip Nation – crossing the United States a grand total of eight times. His dedication and expertise earned him the title of Tour Manager for IC’s first-ever European Tour. When asked to describe his position, Simon replied: “I'll be at home base, frantically searching for a solution when the van gets stuck in an immovable sea of sheep on a country lane.” And there you have it.
