Career

Power Rangers

He is probably best known for his work on the former, serving as a writer, director, and supervising producer until leaving the show about halfway through Turbo in 1997. He went on to eventually find himself at Disney, where he worked on several TV movies (the most well-known of which was Johnny Tsunami) and, following Disney's acquisition of the Power Rangers franchise, was later selected for another tour of duty with the series as co-executive producer (with Ann Austen) for 2003's Ninja Storm.

He stayed on for another year (2004's Dino Thunder) before leaving the show (along with Austen). Sloan stated prior to his departure he would not be returning to Power Rangers.

Online Community

Upon his return, he became heavily active within the Power Rangers community, posting on a fan board under the aliases "nsbigcheese", and later "Dino Dude". Sloan's visits frequently resulted in feedback and strong interaction with the community. Since then, many other cast and crew members have followed.

Onscreen appearances
