Shaun grew up in Hayden, Al, a rural area north of Birmingham. After graduating high school, he spent time in the Marine Corps Reserves, working on a horse farm, doing construction work, pumping gas, and doing various other odd jobs before settling on what he thought was a career in aviation. After working for 4 years as a flight instructor, Shaun graduated from UAB with a degree in Secondary Science Education and spent 3 years as a high school science teacher. He finally discovered his life’s passion and work: to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Shaun spent 10 years as a youth minister in churches in Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida, and he has a MACE degree from New Orleans Baptist Seminary. Shaun still loves to fly, waterski, and camp, but he mostly enjoys spending time with his wife of 13 years, Tami, and 2 girls, Cali and Peyton.

Jim’s dad was in the Air Force so his family was stationed in England, Okinawa, Illinois, Texas and Colorado. He had the opportunity to see various parts of the world and be able to interact with many different cultures. His dad retired in Aurora, CO where Jim went to high school. This is where he met his future wife, Janet. They both went to school at Oklahoma Baptist University and from there attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, graduating Master of Church Music. Jim was worship pastor at churches in Oklahoma and Texas while attending school. His first church out of seminary was a new church start in Colorado Springs; this is where he realized his passion for reaching people for Jesus through the Arts and to see people continue to grow in their relationship with Christ. Jim and Janet have a son and daughter-in-law and a beautiful grandchild, Aubrey, who they try to completely spoil.
