Focus on the Family and Adventures in Odyssey

Wow… so much to catch up on! (Remember, anything underlined is “hyper-linked” that means you can click on it to learn more!)

First things first.. wanted to say congrats to Dan Clark and Lisa Fink for winning our free Cloud Ten Pictures DVD contest here on my blog. Dan is out of Maine and selected THE GENIUS CLUB and Lisa is out of Oklahoma and selected TREASURE BLIND. Both great titles and Cloud Ten Pictures is blessed to be their distributor.

Ok.. now onto what has been happening. Well on July 6th, I got to meet with Paul McCusker one of the many humble brains behind Adventures in Odyssey at Focus on the Family. He is an amazingly gifted writer and a quiet visionary. You can see a listing of his work HERE.

He was just a great person to talk with and he was generous in giving me a full behind the scenes tour of Focus on the Family. I got to hang out in the foley room for Adventures in Odyssey and I even got to sit in Dr. James Dobson’s chair! Here are some photos to check out!

This is where all the Adventures in Odyssey magic takes place. For those of you who have wanted to see this room that is not on the standard tour.

This room looks like a mess.. and it is. But this is the foley room for Adventures in Odyssey. For those of you not in the know.. a foley room.. is basically the sound effects room for a production.

This is Dr. James Dobson’s famous chair where he does his live radio show from.

And lastly, this is my assistant Ms. Brittany Hardy with Paul McCusker.. we ended our time together in Colorado Springs at Starbucks just outside of Focus on the Family.

I have so much to catch everyone up on… my goodness. Next blog entry, I’ll talk about ICVM the International Christian Visual Media Catalyst Conference that took place the 6-9th of July.

Then in another blog entry I’ll talk about my meeting with Lecrae and Ben Washer from Reach Records. I just went to their concert last night and was blessed to have a private meeting with them. Looking forward to creating that blog post as well.

Next week I’ll be in Kansas City at the National Worship Leaders Conference. Lots of travel this month… So much going on!

  1. I have a big nose.

    Paul McCusker is the shizzam, and I look forward to cool blog updates to come. I think you should do a vlog for ICVM, and pretend to be the people you met there. And you could have props. It would be fun.

  2. Are you kidding.. I'd have to walk around with a bicycle horn and a geocaching device. I might offend… wait.. when has that ever stopped me… on second hand i might consider it. That was an amazing time with Paul.. and your smile is as genuine as his.

  3. Isn't it great to love what you do for a living? Keep me updated…

    Daniel
