Hi! My name is Jim.

I’m the host and creator of Survivor Branford which was (of course) inspired by the CBS show Survivor. Back in 2014 myself and a group of my coworkers convened on the shores of Branford Connecticut to play a weekend-long version of the game. I would have never predicted how what was expected to be a one-time event has evolved over the years. I mean, we have a website now!

As of this writing we are currently preparing for our 8th season!  Over the seasons, the casts have expanded from an exclusive group of friends, to bringing in friends and family members through our respective networks, to now including general applicants!  Before Season 7 we launched an Instagram page which allowed for a much wider net to be put out there for casting and even resulted in landing our very first “applicant” to be a part of the show in 2021!  The “Apply” page is meant to serve as the central spot for those who do not have a direct connection to myself or Survivor Branford to submit your information in the hopes of being on a future season!  

My immediate goal is to continue to host seasons annually while adding to the number of players who have participated.  If there is enough interest and demand I would love to be able to host more than a single season in a summer.  My ultimate, long term goal would be to make a living through a combination of hosting Survivor Branford events and being hired by groups to put on custom Survivor events at a provided location.

Hope to see you on the island!
