Nathan Hoobler Basic Biography

Adventures in Odyssey

My interest in Adventures in Odyssey began sometime in 1988.  I don't know exactly when, though I do remember hearing "The Case of the Secret Room."  I became a much bigger Odyssey fan after I got my first album "Other Times, Other Places." I eventually began getting all of the albums, books, and videos. 

In 1999, I started the AIOHQ website and in the summer of 2000, I got the opportunity to work with the Adventures in Odyssey team for a few months. For about a year and a half, I worked for the show on a freelance basis and wrote about five scripts. I became a full-time staff writer for Odyssey in January 2002.

And what else is there? Well...

Fun Book

I produced a personal magazine (named Fun Book) from 1988 to 1998.  When it started, it was three pieces of paper stapled together.  When I closed up shop, I had about 150 subscribers and 12 issues a year. 

College

While I was in college, I was the president of the Asbury Outdoors club.  We planned about four trips per semester to various places in the surrounding area.  These trips include backpacking, hiking, caving, climbing, canoeing, and biking. 

Also in college, I worked with the Challenge Course (a team and leadership building event) and on the college web page.  I was also the "On-Line Editor" for the Asbury Collegian for three years.
