Ben received his B.A. in Applied Mathematics, Management & Accounting from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Ben now serves as Executive Director and CEO of Invisible Children, Inc. He embraces the impossible and plots the course of our daring future. His hard work is unmistakably evident; a previously unheard of grassroots documentary film has transformed into an international movement that is revolutionizing culture, policy and lives.

Okot Jolly serves as the Country Director for Invisible Children Uganda. In 2003, Jolly Grace Okot brought the original three filmmakers to northern Uganda with hopes that her dream would one day come to fruition: thousands of Acholi children given the chance to succeed through education. Her guidance enabled the filmmakers to create the original Rough Cut documentary, and her leadership and passion helped develop IC’s grassroots initiatives in Uganda. Among her many qualifications, Jolly holds a degree in Business Administration and is experienced in program development and coordination, logistics and management. Developing IC’s operations in Uganda has given her the opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream of educating children in the Acholi sub-region, especially girls.

Chris grew up in Central California, but after being in San Diego the past 14 years, he can be officially listed as Southern Californian. His education is extensive, so get ready: undergrad at UC Berkeley, followed by a Master's degree in Agribusiness at Kansas State, topped off with an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management. You're still following? Okay, good. As COO, Chris oversees all of IC's operations, putting us in the best possible position to end this war (internally we refer to his work as the fuel). We can thank Our former CFO Jay for getting Chris involved and introducing him to Laren. After the three spent a morning surfing and talking all-things-IC, Chris was convinced -- this was where he needed to be. He worked with Ben Keesey over the next couple years and made a trip to Gulu before coming on full-time in 2010. And we can't end this without mentioning the role baseball's played in his life. He grew up an Orioles fan, listening to games on the radio with his grandfather, then worked as a sports agent for two years after college (not to mention a 10-year stint helping build software company Active.com). We're thankful his career path eventually steered him away from Jerry Maguire's footsteps... and towards Invisible Children.

He graduated from USC with an MA in Communication Management at the age of 21 and waived a position with a communication consulting firm to polish Our development strategy. Chris then initiated and directed the Schools for Schools program before transitioning into his current position as VP of Business Operations. He now manages IC's core operations, including Technology, HR, Shipping, Office Management and Data Management. Oh, and he's Our resident authority on all matters of Salesforce. Chris has traveled to Uganda four times and lead two S4S Winners Trips. Actually, Chris has traveled to more countries abroad than US states. Don't worry; it's completely normal to feel like an underachiever around him.

Laura Walker can't claim to be a native Californian—having been born in Las Vegas—but she has been rooted in San Diego for over 50 years. So we think she still deserves the title of a "native." Laura may be one of the newest members of Our Team, but she has been an IC supporter ever since she attended Our very first screening of the Rough Cut. Laura has no fear as she has jumped out of an airplane twice on her 50th birthday before landing the job as Invisible Children's financial controller. She makes sure that every hard earned donation is stretched to do the most possible good. Laura never stops. When she has some spare time and isn't handling money, she volunteers as a Court Appointed Child Advocate for Voices for Children and has received the Pierre Toussaint Award for volunteering at the Toussaint Academy.

It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it- and that someone is Tiffany Keesey. Tiffany is Our Human Resources & Recruiting Director, interviewing and hiring the exceptional people that make Invisible Children something to talk about. Tiffany graduated from UCLA in 2005 as a Regents Scholar- an honor putting her in the top 1% of her class. After graduation, she accepted a position on Our staff as Office Manager. While managing the first few National Tours, she developed a sixth sense for that rare breed that complements the wonderful chaos of Invisible Children. Her expertise made her the obvious candidate for a full-time position in Human Resources & Recruiting. When she isn't takin' names and makin' moves, Tiffany relaxes with yoga and participates in a book club. She aspires to form an Invisible Children water polo Team too. Fingers crossed for a Speedo sponsorship.

Josh Parolin, overseer of everything wires, computers, cables, and Salesforce at Invisible Children, hails from Kansas City, MO. We like to call Josh Our IT Manager while he prefers the title "resident geek." Josh knows a thing or two about adventure as he backpacked across Central America for three months and has worked at a hostel in the Panamanian rain forest. Josh started volunteering with Invisible Children at Our first national event—the Global Night Commute. Shortly after that, Josh found himself on an airplane heading to northern Uganda to be the IT Manager in the IC Uganda office. Because of his irreplaceable technological skills, we needed Josh to come back to the States and keep Invisible Children up-to-date in the technology world.

Known as "Russell the Muscle" around the office, this Texas native now works as Our Fulfillment Coordinator and Warehouse Manager, a position that involves way more than you'd ever like to know. An incredibly talented individual, Russell came to IC in January of '07 as a Displace Me intern, took to the highway as a roadie on the fall tour, and is now based out of San Diego as a fulltime employee. When not buried in boxes, you can often find Russell out on the waves, a talent he picked up on the oceans of Australia.

He previously served at an AIDS Information Center and was a Distribution Point Supervisor in an Internally Displaced People’s Camp. His experiences led him to realize that children and women suffer most when war occurs, and this is what motivated him to join ICU. Norbert is a fan of local soccer teams and hopes to continue furthering his knowledge in Accounting.

Chad is a storyteller who hails from the land of oranges, lighting storms, space shuttles, and shark bites—Cocoa, FL (he claims to have experienced everything on that list). His job at Invisible Children is to create something out of nothing and on top of that, to astonish people. That is exactly what he does as Our lead animator/VFX guy in the art department. He's very talented to say the least. Chad has been home schooled from K-12 (don't worry, he's proud of it) and he received an AS in digital media/television production.

Invisible Children's status as more than a charity is intentionally curated by Jedidiah Jenkins. His primary job is to digest the vision of Invisible Children handed down from the collective leadership and articulate it, expand it, and build the world we hope to see in 100 years. His job is to be in all parts of the organization, from engaging with the interns to leading trips to Uganda to drafting partnership contracts and investing in donors. His legal background gives him a broad grasp on the implications of changing social consciousness, and he intends to do just that. Jed is the main voice and vision of Invisible Children's blog. He likes people and books and drawing with a black pen. His affinity for exploration has yielded his obsession for studying maps, navigating back roads, and treasure-hunting on YouTube.

Kenneth James Laubbacher, more simply known as Kenny James, is the man behind the music. At least, sort of. His path to becoming a child prodigy pianist was cut short when he broke his finger in the third grade playing basketball. Now in lieu of being the modern day Mozart (OK, we might be exaggerating), he spreads the word about kids in Uganda by encouraging bands to do so. He sees huge potential in artists and their audiences and believes music has the capacity to create lasting cultural change. When he isn't behind the music, he's behind the camera catching life on film. On one of his latest filming stints he was kicked off a sailboat by a one-eyed captain as punishment for crashing into a buoy in the Chesapeake. We're sure there's a good excuse for this somewhere.

Ogola Florence Anyango is our Public Relations Officer here at ICU. She is from Nairobi, Kenya, and she speaks English, Luo, and Swahili.

Alexander Mark Collins is Our Artist Liaison/Tour Coordinator. From Yale (the city, not the college– don't get your hopes up), he prefers to go by the alias Dominic Managhan due to his striking resemblance to the character "Charlie" on LOST. Alex has a heart for international affairs and spent part of his undergrad experience studying in China. One day he hopes to continue his brain growth in that area by getting his Masters in Peace Studies in England. Till then, we're holding him hostage as Our Artist Liaison, which basically means he plans tours with musicians and travels with them across the world promoting IC.

Adding the southern belle touch to San Diegan lifestyle, Kathryn traveled cross-country to be a roadie on the 2007 National Tour. After detouring across the deep south in an RV, Kathryn returned to San Diego and now works as the production assistant in the art department, tinkering with videos and telling stories with IC's fabulous stash of footage. Secrets to know about Lang: she's obsessed with Jimmy Stewart, her record player is her favorite toy, and if you ask her how many times 18 goes into 473 her head might explode.

After earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Procurement and Logistics Management, Doreen worked as the Logistics Officer for Deutscher Entwicklungsdienst Uganda.

Kevin Trout is a true roadie. After going to school for photography, he went on the road for four years with Warped Tour, filming over 150 bands and becoming friends with people in every state across the US. But following rockstars wasn't enough. In 2007, Kevin joined up with IC's Band Tour to show us the ropes on Our first-ever Warped Tour. Since then, he's been working in Our art department editing Our films and "ballooning" people -- ballooning being the art of hanging a balloon on someone's back without them noticing. His first job in the art department was to type out the handwritten video log sheets...which ended up being over 1,200 pages long. We consider him pretty legit, but since he hates that word we'll just say he's a great guy that we love having around.

Chad is originally from Newport Beach, but after he didn't make it onto the show The OC (he was neck and neck with Adam Brody for the role), he decided he would aim for graphic design and print aesthetics. And now - those talents are here at Invisible Children. Chadwick majored in life, graphic design, and photography at Point Loma Nazarene University. He was able to participate in a traveling art study that took him to western Europe for six months then finished off in Japan. Chadwick likes flavored sun-flower seeds, screen printing tee's, taking pictures, long walks on the beach (okay, I snuck that in), playing bones (dominos), spicy food, supporting community, and good conversation. There, that about sums it up.

Akello Consolate Oliver is from Gulu and can speak Acholi and English. She completed a secretarial course and worked as a secretary before joining ICU as an Administrative Assistant. She loves her co-workers and wants to travel to more than five countries.

Ashley was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She created on-air promotional pieces at VH1 in New York and developed news packages for local media outfits before getting her degree in Broadcast Journalism at Grand Valley State University. Along the way, Ashley's eyes were opened to grassroots documentaries that were having a profound impact on lives across the world, and she refocused her talents. She came to IC as a SoCal Roadie in the spring of '09 and has been in the Art Department editing away behind a computer since fall of '09. If you're looking for her on the road, you can catch her by her license plate - Gucci. She claims it's a reference to her last name. We prefer to believe she has a weakness for high fashion. (Okay, she doesn't have that license plate anymore... but she used to!)

When Steve was just a young lad, he entered in a local CVS Valentine's Day coloring contest in his hometown of Downingtown, Pennsylvania. Staying in the lines while coloring, he blew the competition out of the water taking first place. From that moment on Steve was bound for greatness in the art design world. After designing one of his school's S4S club t-shirts, he decided he wanted to design stuff for IC full-time and applied for our design internship. We were immediately impressed by his gifted ability to turn shapes and colors into something the world has never seen before. Being one of our incredibly skilled graphic designers, Steve does everything from designing t-shirts to print materials to keeping our website looking classy.

In short, this girl is an overachiever extraordinaire. Not only did Talitha finish college in three years (with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Sociology), but she gives tangible meaning to the phrase: "Do not take 'NO' for an answer," by holding the unofficial title of Most Screenings Ever Booked by One Person at Invisible Children. After a nine month internship with IC, Talitha has joined Our staff as the "Tour Booking Coordinator" for the US and the UK -- meaning, she spends hours each day navigating through roadie Team schedules, google maps, and nonstop phone calls with a smile. When not at the office, you can find this Chandler, Arizona-native cruising around San Diego in her car, "Sisqo N.E. Faster," and correcting the staff at Starbucks when they provide her with false facts about the object of her caffeinated obsession.

In 2006, she was chosen by her college to serve as a student diplomat in South Africa. The following summer she followed her wanderlust to live and work for a national NGO in Dublin, Ireland where she discovered her allergies to wheat and dairy. It's a tragedy, we know. Lauren previously traveled on the Mountain West and Mid Atlantic regions for IC. Her experience has her in a perfect position to manage the routes for Our tours. But we can't find where it is in her past that she became so affectionate for and educated about elephants. But she is. She definitely is.

Tyler draws pictures for a living. Well, he actually does a lot more to earn his keep around Our office. He is responsible for designing Our print media, web graphics and merchandise. Basically, if you see it or wear it- he clicked it into being. Tyler got involved with IC after meeting IC founder Laren Poole at a benefit show in Austin, Texas. When he mentioned his affinity for Our design and aesthetic, Laren mentioned that he should be a Roadie and so he did just that, eventually becoming part of Our staff. Tyler is seemingly normal, aside from his peculiar hatred of popcorn and a brief stint in homemade pyrotechnics from age 9 to 13. At age 12, he graduated from fireworks to studies in muzzle loading, eventually progressing to cannons. His research resulted in a cannonball-shaped hole in his backyard fence. He now works for a nonprofit organization that advocates peace. Oh, we just love a good dose of irony.

After studying International Relations at Point Loma Nazarene University, Sean immediately had the chance to use his degree as he helped establish the HF Radio Tower Program in the DR Congo. On top of that, he can quote "D2: The Mighty Ducks" in its entirety. That's 'a quarter of an inch' away from being the biggest fan ever. (Sorry, "Mighty Ducks" humor.)

Bethany was born in Anchorage, Alaska and raised in Kenya and Tanzania - quite a fanciful childhood! As an RM, she's in charge of training new roadies, maintaining the roadie house, coordinating roadie routes, and putting a cork on the mayhem of Pacific Northwest, Great Lakes and Deep South routes, all of which she toured at one point. She graduated from George Fox University with a degree in Cinema and Media Communications. Bethany organized Portland's Global Night Commute in 2006 and has been with us ever since, even though her mom wanted her to be a concert pianist... the piano being an instrument she's played for 22 years. Whoops. Her childhood hero was JFK, she's quite very fond of Anderson Cooper, and she toured with Adam Palumbo. It seems as if Bethany can't get enough of tragically good looking men in her life. Deal with it.
