Connor

Hello. I am Connor. I am from the town of Brownsburg in Central Indiana. Ever since I was little, I have had a love for trains and railroading. I come from a family that could basically care less about trains, but they love my passion and support me all the way. I am 20 years old, a Christian, and attend school at Indiana University Bloomington. My favorite railroad is the Union Pacific Railroad and my favorite type of locomotive is a class "S-2" 2-8-4 "Berkshire" type locomotive, specifically Nickel Plate Road 765. I enjoy filming any trains and railroads, but I often find myself, the majority of the time, videoing Class 1 Railroads.

Before I founded SIDETRACK PRODUCTIONS in March of 2022, I was a member of BCSC.TV at Brownsburg High School. I worked as a producer, director, technical director, camera operator, and graphics operator for the video crew. I worked for BCSC.TV from Freshman to Senior year. My Senior year I created a documentary about the crew titled, "Behind the Action".

Since leaving BCSC.TV, I joined IUSTV at Indiana University the fall of Freshman Year. I worked for the show, "Behind the Curtain," which is a talk show on student films on IU Bloomington's Campus. However, due to scheduling I had to stop. I loved the team there; I wished could have stayed and make more shows with them.

Over the course of my time at IU, I worked with Swim Club at Indiana University, also known as SCIU. I have been the unofficial videographer for the team. I have worked with Lauren Liston and Janine Holleworth, both Vice Presidents of Communications at SCIU. The SCIU YouTube channel was started by Lauren and myself, after I begged Lauren and my coach, Bill Ramos. I love making the highlight style content, but nothing beats SIDETRACK PRODUCTIONS.

I have been creating videos since 2018. I have only started uploading to YouTube since 2020. I have made videos of many types; documentaries, sport highlights, competitive challenges, and gaming videos to just name a few. My favorite videos to make are the ones for SIDETRACK PRODUCTIONS.

Since March 5th, 2022, I have made 17 programs for SIDETRACK PRODUCTIONS. Each program I make, I strive to make the best viewer experience. I look forward to making more programs in the future. I do SIDETRACK PRODUCTIONS because it is my favorite pastime and I want to share it with everyone around the world.
