Oscar Dahl was born a toe-head of Norwegian descent in the great city of Seattle. Throughout his childhood, Oscar dabbled in a variety of activities: sports, music, literature, bike-riding, the tormenting of younger siblings, candy eating, tree climbing, video games, and the occasional piece of homework. Years after Al Gore invented it, and once Oscar reached double digits, the internet became a fascination of the young city boy. Using his family's Jabba the Hutt-after-a-large-meal slow modem, Oscar consumed information as if it were an impossibly important quest bequeathed unto him by pagan gods. His knowledge of all things pop culture grew exponentially, as did his ability to waste time in front of a computer screen. A love affair with the internet was born, a love that has yet to abate.
After a happy, greasy-faced and relatively uneventful trip through high school, Oscar migrated south for college, enrolling in film school at Loyola Marymount University to study Screenwriting. Much was learned over four years at the university, and while the world of film remains a fiery passion of Mr. Dahl's, he found Los Angeles an over-extended chasm of smog and narcissism. Having fulfilled his collegiate duties, Oscar returned to the Pacific Northwest with nary a life-plan in mind.
After a year of character building marina work and world traveling, Oscar stumbled into a job as a writer for Seattle start-up BuddyTV. There, he worked for three years as a prolific television critic, writing reviews and editorials about popular TV shows. He traveled to sets of TV shows and various press junkets, interviewing some of the industry's biggest names. Three years provided enough TV watching for one lifetime, and now Oscar finds himself at Social Creature Media as a Creature of Client Services and Content. Oscar brings his expansive writing and internet experience to the company.
In his free time, Oscar enjoys playing basketball, golf, softball and any other competitive event one could envision. He also reads quite a bit, loves a good film and spends an inordinate amount of his off-work hours watching sports. He loves the Mariners, the Washington Huskies and he mourns the loss of the Seattle Supersonics on a daily basis.
