This creative entrepreneur’s sewing journey began in 1989 in Okinawa, Japan, when her husband used his military signing bonus to buy her first sewing machine. Though skeptical at first, she ventured into sewing baby clothes, pillows, and table runners with mixed success. Determined to improve, she kept experimenting. By 1995, after moving back to the states, she discovered a local sewing class that became a turning point. She learned to read and adapt patterns, leading to her first completed garments and opening the door to sewing T-shirts, costumes, and other projects.

Keith first realized his fascination for bees during a trip to the L.A. County Fair when he encountered the large observation bee hive set up by the Los Angeles County Beekeepers Association (LACBA) and spent most of his day at the booth asking questions and gathering information about honeybees. He continued his education from there through reading every beekeeping book he could find and engaging in a powerful mentorship. Keith became an adept beekeeper as well as the Vice President and subsequently the President of LACBA. Keith is still active in the club and shares his knowledge and experience whenever he can, including teaching beekeeping 101 classes on a monthly basis. 
In 2014, Keith partnered with Danny Finkelstein to realize his ultimate dream of creating a hub for the beekeeping community in the San Fernando Valley. This hub is known today as The Valley Hive.

Growing up deep in America's 'Bible Belt', Chris was raised in Denominational, Evangelical, American, Fundamental Christian churches. The son of a police officer and a nurse, his parents were definitely surprised when he announced his intention to enter full-time Christian pastoral ministry. After nearly two decades of pastoring all over the Houston area, Chris experienced a crippling crisis of faith following a series of explosive episodes of 'church-hurt' that nearly destroyed him. Chris is back in the pulpit sharing the good news of God's saving power, not just from an eternal hell, but also from a hell of our own creation.
