My name is Todd Ross Nienkerk. I'm a self-employed writer, editor, and web designer living in Austin, Texas, Texas.

In November, 2006, some friends and I launched That Other Paper, Austin's FIRST and ONLY publication. Earlier that year, we also co-founded Four Kitchen Studios, a creative collective that specializes in design and publishing for print and the web.

I graduated from UT-Austin in May, 2005, with degrees in Radio-Television-Film (BS) and Psychology (BA). While attending school, I wrote for and edited the Texas Travesty, UT-Austin's humor magazine and the largest college humor publication in the nation. I served as editor-in-chief for two years (Fall 2002 to Spring 2005).

My creative interests include writing&mdash;namely creative nonfiction and satire&mdash;radio and radio documentary, print design, web design, and photography. Favorite autuers include This American Life host Ira Glass, journalist Matt Taibbi, and documentary filmmaker Errol Morris.
