Dave and Wendy both grew up in California. From the time Dave was very young, he knew he wanted to be an artist. He has been an illustrator all his life, and began to follow Jesus Christ in 1979. Wendy committed her life to Christ at a young age, and had an early interest in writing, film, and world cultures. In 1990, their lives were forever changed when they attended a missions course called Perspectives on the World Christian Movement. Feeling the call into full-time missions, in 1997 they joined Youth With A Mission (YWAM). One year later they moved their family to Asia to learn Chinese and plant churches among an unreached people group. They began developing media tools to reach the this group with the gospel while hosting teams and discipling believers. In 2007, Dave and Wendy joined Create International (a global ministry of YWAM) in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to develop contextually relevant evangelistic films for unreached people groups. In Thailand, Dave pioneered the School of Cartooning and Animation for Missions (SoCAM) while Wendy produced a variety of films. Four years later, the founders of Create International asked them to pioneer a new Create International Center in Taipei, Taiwan. Since founding Create International Taiwan in March 2013, they have been building a creative team of artists and media experts to produce cross-cultural evangelistic films to help reach the unreached, while continuing to run the School of Cartooning and Animation for Missions.
