I have been married for thirteen years to the most amazing man I've ever known and we have three wonderful kids (Judah 7, Sylas 5 and Sydney 3). For years I thought I would be a Psychologist and went to school and got my MA in Psychology with hopes of returning for my doctorate once the kids were in school. However, just in the past two years Josh and I have been writing stories together and I have been helping him to produce. This began out of necessity because we naturally work well together and I desperately wanted to help him accomplish his vision of making life changing films. However, we are having so much fun that I am considering a change in my career path! We have so many ideas in our heads we would like to write and produce that I don't think we'll be stopping anytime soon! I always wanted to be a counselor so I could help people experience life to the fullest but now I am seeing this vision may be realized through filmmaking instead. The world desperately needs hope and our goal is to make films that touch people in a profound way through our stories.

Thanks so much again!! It was so great to meet you! I enjoyed The Butterfly Circus immensely. I'm interning on the Warner Brothers lot and wanted to pass the film around to people there. I just got an email tonight from a guy who works on the television show "Chuck" who said, "That's a really nice film!! Thanks for passing it along. Don't see too many shorts with that kind of production value or message."
