Max Univers (not his real name) is a 2001 graduate of Creighton University’s Journalism program and has been following Jays hoops since the days of Rick Johnson. Max began writing about Creighton Hoops on his blog in 2004 and is a founding contributor to White & Blue Review. He is currently a Creative Director for an Omaha ad agency after nine years in the Marketing Department for a large industrial distribution company as Creative & Web Designer.
Max volunteered his expertise in producing in-stadium videos for Creighton Athletics in 2006 and 2007 as a member of the Jays Video Team. He has written two books and has had his work published in several national magazines. Additionally, he was a contributing author to BeA Design Group, one of the largest online graphic design communities, from 2003-2005. He also served on the Board of Directors of AIGA Nebraska, the local chapter of the Professional Association for Design, from 2001-2009.
Why Univers? Its his favorite font, plus it just sounds really cool as a surname.
Why Polyfro? Years and years ago, Max had a giant afro wig that he wore as part of a Halloween costume. Not wishing to retire its giant fro awesomeness after the holiday, he began wearing the wig out in public as part of his everyday ensemble. One night at a dance club, the DJ called out the moniker over the soundsystem. Max thought it sounded cool, and purchased the URL shortly thereafter.
