I had the privilege of working together with Barry for more than a dozen years. He is one of the most gifted and innovative marketers and leaders I've ever been around, with the unique ability to see things in new and different (and better!) ways. He's highly connected, highly creative and highly recommended.

      I'm the adult supervisor to a group of crazy smart young people, most notably Ash Greyson, our CEO. My job is to "make sense of the mess" and try to monetize the ideas that flow through Ribbow Media Group.

      Pretty much my job this year was to oversee the launch of the theatrical release of the Pure Flix movie, God's Not Dead. And trust me, it took all my time! I managed 23 independent contractors and together we achieved a $60 million box office for this picture! It put faith based films on the map!

      After music, I didn't know what I wanted to be, but thank the Lord, I found the movie business. It was so much like music because it's all about hits. I worked on a number of smaller independent films, starting with Armie Hammer's first feature, Billy: The Early Years and most fun for me, Seven Days In Utopia, with Robert Duvall. Thank you author David Cook! After music, I didn't know what I wanted to be, but thank the Lord, I found the movie business. It was so much like music because it's all about hits.

      I ran a 30 member staff of creative services, marketing, artist acquisition, publicity and promotion for Warner Bros Records called Word Records. Biggest victories were breaking new artists like Mute Math, Building 429 and seeing Randy Travis climb all the way back to #1 with the Country Music song of the year, Three Wooden Crosses.
