In 1990, 24-year-old computer-animator, Phil Vischer, sat down to create a group of characters that could teach Christian values to kids in a delightfully weird way. Hence, a tomato named Bob and a cucumber named Larry were born. VeggieTales would go on to revolutionize Christian filmmaking, selling more than 50 million videos and placing Phil's faith-filled stories in one in every three American households with young children. Phil is highly respected by key Christian leaders across the Christian landscape from Joel Osteen to James Dobson. He is a sought after speaker at such events as Willow Creek’s Conspire conference and the Biola Media Conference. Phil continues to pursue innovative new ways to integrate faith and storytelling through his new company, Jellyfish Labs. Phil lives with his wife Lisa and their three kids in Illinois.
