ABOUT
LENWOOD S. SHARPE
I don't need to be the guy who cures cancer.
I just wanna be the guy who invents the next Pet Rock.

( l e n w o o d @ l e n w o o d . n e t )



I designed a flag for my hometown, created an entire alphabet, penned Paul Bunyan's eulogy while writing travel guides to non-existent places (really).

I created a virtual museum to promote folklore from a project I stated before finishing high school.

I authored sets of 150+ rhymes, 30+ riddles and at least 100 good jokes on The World's Least Successful Humor Site™.

I developed my own electronic fortune teller and authored a book completely in alliteration (even the preface).

All of this under the banner Thrill Land, a company I started when I was just fourteen.

I also developed both a video game and tabletop role-playing game.

I've written and illustrated several works of short fiction and authored The Wrong Dictionary, The Deacon’s Seat, The Hangman’s Choke Book (PDF), and an array of over a hundred creative works.

I've served in the U.S. Army Finance Corps for four years, volunteered as a graphic designer for International House for two, worked as a communication specialist for six, and was booted from Screen Rant faster than it took to be vetted for the position (!).

I uncovered two long-forgotten folk heroes (A, B), the earliest known mention of Paul Bunyan in print (March 17, 1893) and early Br'er Rabbit stories.

I also created two feature-length experimental films and became a horror host for both video and radio.

I will not mention my coursework in project management nor computer science.

I am an expert and a professional.

My Swahili is better than my French but not as good as my German, and I am fluent in none of them.

I have a BA in International Studies with a minor in Holocaust, genocide and human rights studies, because why not?

And— there is still yet more to come.
