Paul Nolan has crafted whips for Hollywood films, notably "The Rundown;" national television shows, notably "Andromeda;" whip cracking enthusiasts; and performers all over the world.  His whips are used by Chris Camp (Guinness Record holder, multiple whip cracking champion, and has cracked whips on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno), Gery Deer (who has performed on the Steve Harvey Bigtime Challenge, and America's got Talent),
and Alex Green (Personal Whips Trainer to Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas, and Halle Berry).

Paul's whipmaking career began at a young age with his love of the Indiana Jones movies, which inspired him to try making his first whip, and quickly became fascinated by the infinite possibilities and challenges whipmaking offered.  A few years later after making hundreds of whip, he founded MidWestWhips to continue and share his passion for creating whips, and to help spread the sport and knowledge of skilled whipcracking.

A few years ago, Lauren Wickline met Paul at a western whipcracking event in Ohio, and immediately began learning to braid her own whips alongside Paul.  After working daily with him for over a year, her skills had quickly progressed to the level where she was producing professional top-quality whips, up to the highest standards of MidWestWhips, and a partnership was born.  Lauren and Paul's shared passion for Indiana Jones, whipcracking, whipmaking, and a plethora of other interests led them to create a shared whipmaking workshop and become partners in MidWestWhips.

Since then, the MidWestWhips whipmaking pair has made whips for hundreds more satisfied customers including some never-before-seen concept whips, whips for featured films including "The Prince of Persia" to be released in Summer 2009, and performers and educators around the world.
