With an English professor father and art educator mother, Laura Churchman has been smithing words and honing her creative skills since she was a little girl. She received her BA in journalism and mass communication at Drake University in 2000 and post-graduation, she made creativity her career as an advertising copywriter.

Before succumbing to the seven-year itch of the agency life and becoming a freelancer, she worked at Spiker Communications in Missoula, Montana for two years. Many of the clients Laura wrote for represented high-end real estate endeavors, luxury homes and golf communities, including Rocky Mountain Log Homes, Arnold Palmer Design Company, The Resort at Paws Up, Rock Creek Cattle Company and Forrester's Bighorn River Resort.

Prior to moving to Missoula, Laura worked at Callahan Creek in Lawrence, Kansas where she cut her teeth as an intern and went on to write for a wide array of clients for five years. Clients of note include Hill's Pet Nutrition, Sprint, H&R Block, Payless Shoe Source, Red Bull, Kansas Travel and Tourism, University of Kansas Athletics and Children's Mercy Hospital.

Laura has written in virtually every medium from print and broadcast to in-store and Internet. Geographically speaking, Laura still resides in the inspiring environs of Missoula and is trying her darndest to stay there where she enjoys camping, hiking, fly fishing and an occasional ungraceful run down a mountainside with a snowboard strapped to her feet.

Sean graduated from the University of Kansas with a BFA in graphic design and a BJS in journalism. He entered the world of advertising with stars in his eyes and dreams of fame and fortune, the likes of which only rock stars truly ever experience, burning in his heart.

Unfortunately, the fame part never really came to pass, but he did find a very enjoyable and somewhat lucrative career in the world of marketing other people's products to the unsuspecting masses. After working for several marketing firms for the past fourteen years, he recently decided to strike out on his own and is now a freelance art director in Denver, Colorado.

He has worked with such clients as Hewlitt Packard, Agilent Technologies, Hanes, Hill's Pet Foods, Wachovia Banks, Siemens, Stren, Thomasville Furniture, Red Storm Entertainment, Toro, Equa and Sprint to name a few. Although Sean likes to say that he puts no stock in awards and all of their pretentiousness, he is secretly proud of the fact that his work has appeared in Print Magazine and has won numerous other recognition from his peers.

During his free time, Sean enjoys rock climbing, biking, painting, jogging occasionally and working on becoming the best beer snob that he can.
