Jaime Buckley

My dad, Jaime Buckley, is probably one of the most genuine personalities you'll meet online. As a father of 13 hereditarily passionate and driven children, his heartfelt visions for their future, not just in business, but in life, have nuanced themselves throughout the work of his career.

As a professional illustrator, game creator, podcaster, author of books, comics, and graphic novels, his goal was to create worthwhile heroes for children to emulate, in a world where true heroes are hard to find.

He launched Wanted:Hero in 2005 and received visitors from 60 different countries, all by word of mouth, in the first 10 months. The fantasies began to bud and bloom, a reminder that he had pursued illustration to see others achieve their dreams and goals as much as he desired to reach his own.

At the heart of all his success, in the firm hard ground underneath his most epic and humbling setbacks, the essence of my father's work has always been a love for people. Intrinsic value for the soul of an individual.

My daddy, my favorite storyteller, has dreamt up a million dissimilar ways to teach me that every human being has infinite worth.
