Jaime Buckley married young, winning the heart of a beautiful Samoan princess and together, they had 13 amazing children.
Unbeknownst to those children, their father was one of the original ‘lost boys’ of Peter Pan, which is why he never truly grew up. Though he is respected as a traditional father figure, Jaime still enjoys late-night conversations with Santa Clause, flirting with the Tooth Fairy and still has an occasional beer with Bigfoot. Wizards and warriors seek his company while monsters under children’s beds tremble at the mention of his name.
Jaime is an accomplished writer and illustrator of all things fictional, with a passion to entertain and uplift those he interacts with. He loves God, his country, his family and though his wife frowns when he proclaims it, he kisses the water she walks on. His daughter Asia, says it best:
My dad, Jaime Buckley, is probably one of the most genuine personalities you’ll meet online. As a father of 13 hereditarily passionate and driven children, his heartfelt visions for their future not just in business but in life have nuanced themselves throughout the work of his professional career. As a professional illustrator for over 30 yrs, game creator, podcaster, author of 25 books, 13 comics, and 2 graphic novels, his goal in this was to create worthwhile heroes for children to emulate in a world where true heroes are hard to find.
He launched WantedHero in 2005 and received 750,000 visitors from 60 different countries, all by word of mouth, in the first 10 months.
This business is founded on the fantasies that began to bud and bloom in his youth was a reminder that he had pursued illustration at the beginning wanting to see others achieve their dreams and goals as much as he desired to reach his own. And in the 1,000+ articles, he’s written since 2006, and more than 500 clients giving 100% 5-star ratings in the past 3 yrs, these values have never undergone reduction or minimizing.
At the heart of all his success, in the firm hard ground underneath his most epic and humbling setbacks, the essence of my father’s work has always been a love for people.
Intrinsic value for the soul of an individual.
My daddy, my favorite storyteller, has dreamt up a million dissimilar ways to teach me that every human being has infinite worth.
Cultivating and encouraging his facial hair into a proper dwarven beard, Jaime is expanding his influence and friendships by stepping onto the Twitch platform as a Creative streamer and catering to his growing community, bringing his Wanted Hero creations to the world.
