What is Lohr?

There’s something about stories that linger long after the telling. You can’t get them out of your head.
Even after the screen is off or the book is closed, the characters continue to speak. Their world, it would seem, presses into our ordinary lives.
Their stories live with us. They sit beside us in the car. They join us in our cubicle. They sneak up on us in waiting rooms. The stories we love are the imaginary friends of the 21st century adult.
Welcome to LOHR. We are creators who want to share the presence that stories bring to us.
Our Mission

Our mission is to explore the human condition through the art of storytelling:
1. Why we are the way we are
2. What it means to become whole
We at LOHR have a passion for creating stories that resonate.
But with the expansion of technology and creative voices, our global culture has only become more “storied.” Long gone are the days of “the village storyteller” (now there are MANY storytellers). Indeed, many of us have felt it: the paradox of choice. The more options there are, the less we’re able to choose.
Yet here we are, offering more options into this “noise.” Who are we to presume our stories are worth your time and money?
First, the stories themselves come first. We believe storytellers exist to tell stories that need to be told, not just stories that will sell.
Second, we believe stories serve a greater purpose than mere entertainment. They’re meant to magnify the human experience and encourage us onward and upward in our pursuit of wholeness.
With that daunting standard before us, we take great care in what we produce. We humbly ask for your support as we venture forward.
Meet the Creators.

Alex Aili
Alex Aili is obsessed with words. His blood runs with coffee. Pipe tobacco smoke swirls about him. And his mind constantly wanders into other worlds.
The love of the outdoors was instilled in him at a young age. The world seemed alive to his young mind. This fostered an imagination that continues to this day.
He is always in pursuit of stories, especially stories done well. He hopes he can contribute such stories of his own.
He enjoys life in MN, where he is enraptured with his wife, Jacinda. Their three valiant sons and one radiant daughter overwhelm him with joyous bustle. His family truly makes life more alive.

Jade DeVries
Holding both technical and creative capabilities in balance, Jade DeVries (aka Fromingo) is an artist who eagerly forges concepts to life.
Jade’s fixation on art began at an early age. He would spend numerous hours drawing and imagining worlds beyond reality. His obsession with creative projects continued into college, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in both Computer Science and Digital Cinema.
Since then, he’s expanded his imagination by delving into a myriad of art forms: illustration, filmmaking, leathercraft, design, fiction and story theory. Regardless of the medium, you’ll be sure to detect Jade’s fingerprints of youthful energy and flamboyant flare.
He currently resides in South Carolina with his wife and daughter, who continually support his ventures.
