Ted Westby

Ted Westby hails from a small Midwestern town and never really grew up. After somehow managing to finish college, he spent nearly twenty years writing and producing on-air content for TV stations around the country. During those tumultuous last years, he foolishly wrote and produced four no-budget Indie short films that, to this day, have been seen by less people than it took to make them. For some time now, after abandoning his steady day job and screenwriting aspirations, he has made his living photographing actors and a few regular people. Ted thoroughly enjoys listening to music on cassettes.
