Jacobs junior high, S.P.A.S.H., and now UWSP. This is my first year on the executive staff. My favorite work is when I'm working with a camera filming sports. I love the feeling of capturing a highlight play or memorable moment of a game and being able to preserve the memory.

Content Director

John Lendved

John Lendved is a sensitive, attractive, single young man from the Madison area. He enjoys sipping dry red wines next to a roaring fire and is okay if you just want to cuddle once and a while. John will be going to France next semester thereby halting any future Aisle 5 production, so blame him that there are only two seasons. If you ever see John around, feel free to buy him a drink.

Hello everyone. This year, I'll put up a little more about myself. Apart from being a webweaver for SPtv, I also work as a web designer for the campus.

And I'm still rarely seen without my hat.
