Michael Buncher

Michael joined IJ as the Multimedia Coordinator in March 2025, where he works to develop short-form video content for a range of social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook. He holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing from James Madison University and subsequently developed a passion for content creation and video production. Before coming to IJ, Michael worked as a freelance content creator, where he produced a wide range of content for fencing clubs, marketing agencies, private businesses, and local organizations. Examples of his work include product commercials, event coverage, interviews, and animated readings of “Twas the night before Christmas”. His main goal is to create content that effectively communicates knowledge with the viewer. With that said, making an exciting hype video of a fencing tournament is always a treat he enjoys. In his free time, Michael is an avid enjoyer of science-fiction and fantasy literature, board games, urban exploration, and playing Dungeons and Dragons.
