Kevin Hicks

As the President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board of Hicks Family Online, Kevin Hicks has seen the ups and downs of this fine organization.  From its inception in early 2002, until its un-timely demise in late 2007, there hasn’t been a dull moment for this HFO mainstay.  Kevin has seen HFO grow from a very easy way to update family on the status of his budding family into adding blogs, audio blogs, Jack Ass of the Week, and cutting edge video blogs which spawned into HFO Productions.  Hicks Family Online Productions was born out of Kevin’s love for Purdue Sports.  Kevin’s Purdue Videos were a Boilermaker phenomenon in late 2004, spearheaded by the outragously popular Notre Dame video, downloaded over 50,00 times.   While HFO’s rise to the top of the mountain was long and grueling, its descent was swift, unforgiving, and painful.  Rest assured that like the Phoenix, Hicks Family Online will rise from the ashes, and again ascend that virtual mountain, and Kevin Hicks will lead that climb.  You can view Kevin’s contributions to HFO by clicking on his picture

Cindy Carter

Cindy Carter, HFO’s newest cast member and undisputed Queen of this empire, is sure to bring some flair back to Hicks Family Online.   Cindy has been the driving force behind HFO in the late months of 2009, with new blog ideas, creative thinking, and marketing expertise second to none.   Although she will be sitting side by side with the President of this domain, you can be sure that Miss Carter won’t be short of opinions and editorials.  Be assured that Cindy can rant with the best of them, and most certainly will.  As the single mother of a four year old walking, talking Tornado, she has many stories to tell.  You can view Cindy’s contributions to HFO by clicking on her picture.

 

 

Avery Hicks

As Hicks Family Online’s foremost expert in all things girlie, Avery has come into her own the past 2 years.  Avery has dabbled in a little of everything, including song writing, her own detective services, and being an all-star softball player.  With HFO President Kevin Hicks as her quasi-assistant coach in the summer of 2009, the Leprechauns were Valparaiso Park’s Department 10 and Under Champions!  After losing the first game in the tournament, they proceeded to destroy the loser’s bracket and then beat the perennial favorite TWICE to take the crown.  Avery had a tough time getting used to the new pitching in the 10U league, but did eventually come into her own towards the end of the season.  I think we can expect a huge summer of 2010 from Miss Avery.  She is currently tearing it up in 4th grade, and has recently joined the Choir at school.   You can view Avery’s contributions to HFO if you click on her picture.

Carson Hicks

Carson Hicks is the driving force behind the idea of Hicks Family Online.  After the birth of this fine prince, HFO President Kevin Hicks needed a way to update family on Avery and Carson’s daily life and provide pictures for others to fawn over.  Carson is just now starting the 2nd grade and is dominating the  social scene as usual.  As the heir apperant to the HFO throne, you can be sure that Carson will be involved in all things HFO and will have his hands deep inside the design and production at Hicks Family Online Productions.  Carson’s love for electronics is no shock to those close to HFO’s CEO.  Carson is currently participating in Valparaiso’s Pop Warner Football League and manning the middle linebacker position.   He has been enjoying his time out there, but yet to understand that hurting the other players is deemed “okay” in this sport.  He’ll figure it out I’m sure.  You can view Carson’s contributions to HFO by clicking on his picture.

Xavier Carter

This “Toddler Tornado” is the youngest of HFO’s cast. He’s the kind of 4 year old that any mother would dream of, right up to the moment that she realizes her child is smarter than she is. New Englanders would say Xavier is wicked smart. This little rennaissance man could teach politicians how to work a room, and although he didn’t invent the concept of “shaking hands and kissing babies”, he definitely is the earliest master. He is decisive, opinionated, and vocal. This little one will show you how to do a West Point style push up, coach Peyton Manning on the no huddle offense and give perfect color commentary of CPT Sullenberger’s miracle Hudson landing (complete with dying bird sounds). He’s this cast’s king of one liners. We are pretty sure if this parenting thing is done correctly, he may end up the first West Point grad to play in the NFL while getting his MD and brokering world peace. If we screw it up, there’s a good chance this little man will end up starting his own fraternity and abducting small chinese men in Vegas. The perfect marriage between Old School and The Hangover. Either way, we’re pretty comfortable with the legacy of our world domination resting in the hands of our next generation.
