TheLostOgle.com is an “obscure” social blog based out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Our original mission statement back in 2007 was:

We are a group of young, amazing and strikingly attractive Oklahoma City residents that offer our “2-cents”, “rants” and “morning news styled opinions”on a variety of topics concerning Oklahoma City and the rest of the world. It’s a daunting task. In fact, it’s a task so daunting that only an Ogle brother could do it.  That’s why we’re TheLostOgle.com.

Well, a lot’s changed since then. We’re all older, Oklahoma City has an NBA team and we actually have readers. Despite that, our we try to remain true to our original vision and each provide colorful (and occasionally funny) commentary, wisdom and insight on this place we call home.

Here’s a little bit about our writers:

Patrick
Publisher / Editor-In-Chief / Co-Founder

Patrick was born in Oklahoma City and has lived in various parts of the metro his entire life. He had a preadolescence crush on Patti Suarez, a current crush on Joleen Chaney and a man crush on Gary England.

Patrick oversees all operations of The Lost Ogle, including poor editing, ad sales, events, partnerships and social media. When he is not doing those things, he likes to drink beer with friends, listen to great music and complain about sports. If you are a girl, Patrick lied about that, and actually likes puppies, long walks at Lake Hefner and to just cuddle-up and watch Girls. He also occasionally writes about himself in third-person and has premature gray hair. Both of those things are awesome.

Marisa Mohi
Contributing Writer

Marisa has been a contributor for The Lost Ogle since March of 2010. She’s has Master’s Degree in Writing from the University of Oklahoma, and currently pursuing a second Master’s Degree in Library Sciences.

When Marisa isn’t doing stereotypical librarian writer things, she can be found drinking whiskey, knitting quilts and taking off her top.  Occasionally, she does all three at the same time.

Tony Hanadarko
Contributing Writer / Co-Founder

Tony is one of the three founding writers of The Lost Ogle.  His lifelong goal is to see an MLS team arrive in Oklahoma City.

Tony was raised by Linda Soundtrak, the McCain brothers, and the BC Clark jingle, but not in that order. He misses the good old days, when Mayor Mick was a television sportscaster wearing a toupee and Molly Murphy’s was still around. His personal heroes are Mitch Jelniker, Jason Skurcenski, and Robo-Niner. He’s currently working on a historical fiction piece tentatively titled “Tears for Jenifer Reynolds.”

Spencer Hicks
Contributing Writer

Spencer has red hair. He was brought on as a contributor for TLO because Clark, being the only ginger at the time, had no one to relate to. Spencer is from Shawnee and graduated from Oklahoma Baptist University.

He started performing stand-up comedy in 2004 and had his degree revoked from OBU shortly thereafter. In 2010 he won the OKC Comedy Competition and has opened for Paul F. Tompkins, Kyle Kinane, Rob Delaney and many others. He was the personal assistant to Governor Brad Henry from 2005-2011. When he’s not writing posts for TLO, he is an acting coach for Rit Mathis and the Mathis Brothers.

Chelsea
Contributing Writer

Chelsea hails from Tulsa, and after an action-packed four years in Norman studying economics at OU, she returned to her motherland. Chelsea currently works as a consultant, which is really just a fancy way of saying she is either too lazy or too ashamed to say what she actually does for a living.

Now a retired sorority girl, Chelsea spends most of her spare time talking to her cat and Facebook stalking Price Fallin. She’s also been known to request “Free Bird” at dubstep concerts, reference Chuck Klosterman essays, work movie quotes into everyday conversation, and recite “The Humpty Dance” in its entirety. If you’re single and resemble Val Kilmer in his Batman days, Chelsea is a whiz in the kitchen and enjoys cleaning house in in lace teddies.

Clark Matthews
Co-Founder / Assistant Editor Emeritus

Clark Matthews is a world champion checkers player and the son of an amateur storm chaser. He was raised believing that Gary England was, in fact, a deity. His childhood was spent following “Those Terrible Twisters” presentations as if they were Phish concerts. He is obsessed with politics, basketball and Oklahoma State Athletics.

Clark took a break from writing for The Lost Ogle in July of 2012, but occasionally contributes to site material.
