He was born on August 21, 1961 in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, U.S. Now he is 47 years old and later on 21 August, he will celebrate his 48th birthday.

He has curly short hair, pointed nose, brown skin, and thick eyebrow. He is tall and fat. He hasn’t beard and mustache.

After graduating from Savanna High School in Anaheim, California, Hillenburg enrolled in Humboldt State University and graduated in 1984 with a degree in natural-resource planning and interpretation, with an emphasis in marine resources. In 1992, he earned a Master of Fine Arts in experimental animation from the California Institute of the Arts.

He was a marine biology teacher at what is now the Orange County Ocean Institute. He worked as a marine biologist from 1984-1987. In 1987 Hillenburg decided to pursue a career in animation, his second lifelong passion. He made several short films, two of which were awarded and played in animation film festivals internationally. His two short films The Green Beret (1991) (which was featured in an episode of “Liquid Television”, MTV misspelled his name “Hillenberg” in the credits) and Wormholes (1992) became popular shorts in several film festivals and received various awards.

While still attending animation school, Hillenburg received a job on the children’s TV series Mother Goose & Grimm from 1991 to 1993. When attending the California Institute of the Arts he made his thesis film called ‘Wormholes’ (which was funded by the Princess Grace Foundation). Hillenburg displayed his films at various animation festivals. Joe Murray, creator of Rocko’s Modern Life, met Hillenburg at an animation festival and asked Hillenburg if he would be a director on the show, to which he agreed. Hillenburg joined the Nickelodeon animated series as a writer, producer, and storyboard artist. While working on Rocko’s Modern Life, Hillenburg became friends with Tom Kenny, who would later become the voice of SpongeBob, and future SpongeBob collaborators Doug Lawrence, Paul Tibbit and others.

When Rocko’s Modern Life ended in 1996, Hillenburg developed a concept for a new show about sea creatures, drawing on characters he created for a comic book about tidepools in 1989 at the California Institute of the Arts. He focused the show on a sponge, which Hillenburg initially drew as a natural sponge but changed to a square sponge because it looked funnier. In 1997, Hillenburg teamed with some of his former “Rocko” colleagues, who helped design the show’s backgrounds and characters.

While working at the Ocean Institute, Hillenburg wrote a comic book called “The Intertidal Zone”. He showed it to Martin Olson, a friend and one of the writers of Rocko’s Modern Life. Olson loved it and suggested that Hillenburg rewrite it as an undersea cartoon series.

In 1998, Hillenburg pitched the show to Nickelodeon, using an aquarium, character models, a theme song and the storyboard that would become the pilot episode, “Help Wanted.” The main character’s name was originally “SpongeBoy”, but since the name was copyrighted, he changed it to SpongeBob. Nickelodeon executives bought the pitch and the series premiered on May 1, 1999, and the following episodes started airing on July 17, 1999. He played the ukulele on The Best Day Ever. Karen, Plankton’s computer wife on the show, is named after Stephen Hillenburg’s wife.

Friends, in our daily life, of course we have best friend, although just one. To keep our friendship, I have many methods for you:

1. If you given a faith from your best friend, you must keep it, you shouldn’t commit treason.

2. If your best friend in difficulty, you must help, you shouldn’t leave your best friend.

3. You must gratify her/his hearth, anytime, anywhere, in order to comfort if together with you.

If you try it for keeping your friendship, I am sure your friendship will be kept forever.
