Born on election day in a small one-room log cabin deep within the rough and tumble Wisconsin wilderness, Jack Liebl began his fascination with pretty colors and shiny objects at a very young age.
-
Only five years old and showing his growing creativity, Liebl constructed his first Apple computer from sticks, stones, and real apples. Later in adolescence Liebl would become a successful child actor with regular roles on a number of sitcoms and after school specials. With fame and fortune the young go-getter seemed to have it all. However, there was one thing that Liebl could not buy; California. He tried several times, but was repeatedly blocked by congress. Instead he fell into a deep depression and developed an expensive $5-a-week baseball card habit.
-
Deciding to seek a fresh start and emboldened by rising ambition, Liebl answered a newspaper advertisement seeking students for the local art college. He applied, was accepted, and received a scholarship to play on the school's wiffleball team. He excelled both on and off the field. The skills he learned gave him the ability to succeed in later professional design experiences.
-
Like a modern day Johnny Appleseed, Liebl's hard work can be seen all over this great land of ours. When not saving kittens from trees or documenting new species of plant and animal, he continues his search for challenging yet rewarding creative opportunities and endeavors. To provide information about such opportunities,Liebl may be contacted by telegraph, smoke signal, bird call, town-crier, bat signal, mental telepathy,or carrier pigeon.
