William Morse, associate professor of art at Campbellsville University, invites the public to Ballinger's presentation. Morse was responsible for Phil Vischer, co-creator of VeggieTales, appearing at Campbellsville University in September 2017.

Ballinger moved to Seattle in 1991 and started working at Microsoft as an illustrator after doing some freelance work for companies like Disney and Nintendo Power magazine.

His other accomplishments include being the lead illustrator for the first version of the award-winning Encarta CD-ROM encyclopedia as well as the Explorapedia children's encyclopedia series.

He has previously worked as the 3D design lead, at Big Idea Productions, the producers of the VeggieTales children's videos.

Outside of his teaching, he does illustrations for children's books, websites, games, videos, ads, murals, and sells his commercial photography and exhibits in galleries.
