The Founder

Hi there!

My name is Sam Lundquist, and I’d like to personally say thank you for visiting The Hope Chronicles! I am thrilled that you’re here discovering our movement, and I truly hope you enjoy reading, seeing, and listening to the stories of hope that we’re collecting from all over the world.

Let me tell you a little bit about me. For starters, I’m a West Coast transplant from Iowa trying to bring a little bit of the heartland to Los Angeles.

I’m a 2007 graduate of the University of Southern California with degrees in Political Science and Broadcast Journalism from the Annenberg School of Journalism, and I love learning about people and ideas.

Since then, I’ve delved into the world of non-profit creative development/production in the Los Angeles area. I have also been lucky enough to create, direct, and produce theme parks, attractions, shows, resorts, and exhibits with the incredibly talented team at Thinkwell Group in Burbank, CA.

When I’m not exploring the people and places of Los Angeles (especially the food… yum!), you’ll probably find me watching Fantasmic or riding the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.

Thanks for visiting and enjoy!
