Hey! My name's Ian.
Happy Worm is a pet project of mine. You can read more about Happy Worm here.
In my spare time, I host events and bring creative ideas to life. The first "big" event I hosted was Liverpalooza in 2018. It was give or take 25 people.
It's evolved and became LiverMan 100 in 2024 and 2025. In 2026, it evolves again into New Liver New York 50K.
Happy Worm Summer Camp. Another event that I'm proud of. When's the last time you felt like a kid? The adult summer camp is two years running.
You might be wondering what this font is. It's Happy Worm. It was made in tandem with summer camp. I wanted to more easily replicate the custom text for the promotional material and merch. My first font was born! You can download it for free here.
I used to run the first ever chicken tender blog. The Chicken Contender. I started it in 2012. In 2017, I had a liver transplant and my gallbladder was removed. I can't eat many chicken tenders these days and have pivoted to my new love. Smoothies.
I like trees even more than I like smoothies. So I created a New York City Tree Map. A Google Maps list of New York City's largest, most unique and historical trees. You can find it here.
Next up: I'm training to break the World Record for fastest 1500m by an organ transplant recipient. The current record is 4:26, set in Budapest in 1999. I'm hoping to beat that at the 2027 World Transplant Games.
