Kathy began her career after being told again and again that her voice could make anything sound funny. With her ultra-dry delivery, she was billed as the female Ben Stein. But over the years, she has expanded her repertoire to include the not-so-funny, and the deep-breathed sexy. Kathy is an accomplished improviser and standup comedian and has lent her unique talents to cartoons, commercials, short films, and even at a ride at Disneyland. But wherever you hear her, she's unmistakably Kathy.

Jeff believes that we already have many of the answers we seek, and by simply unleashing our inner child, we can find our purpose and, in turn, help to create a better world.
