28Twenty BIOS…
Andrew, Owner/Lead Videographer
Born and raised in the Buckeye state, Andrew attended a small Christian college in Springfield, Missouri. It was here that he met his amazing bride, Annette, and close friend, John – who would eventually form this team called 28Twenty. He also graduated with a BA in Pastoral Ministry and Bible, later spending several years in youth ministry as a Student Pastor. During his time working with students, Andrew discovered a love for video production, incorporating the powerful medium of video as often as possible through youth events, promos, and teaching.
It wasn’t until 2006 that Andrew decided to dive into wedding videography. It quickly became evident that he had the eye, the skills, and the heart to make this more than a hobby. The vision to begin a fresh new company was born — one that would embrace creativity, passion, and professionalism. This vision became reality with 28Twenty, and the dream continues to be lived out…one wedding at a time.

Describe yourself || Detailed, easy-going, considerate.
Some of your interests || My family is always my main interest! I love all things football related, I’m always tempted with new music and movies, and the internet takes up far too much of my time! I’m also really into working out and eating more healthy these days.
Books you’re currently into || The Way of the Wild Heart by John Eldredge. Great stuff about the journey of being, and becoming, a man. Especially good for a guy who’s fathering 3 boys!

Annette, Videographer/Assistant
Annette grew up on the plains of southern Kansas before making her way to the big city! Her time in Springfield, Missouri yielded her a BA in Office Administration, as well as a husband, Andrew. Annette has worked in several office roles since college, but her main job over the past five years has been the most demanding of all — full-time mom! Being a mother to three young boys certainly keeps her busy, but she places great value on the opportunity to stay at home with her children during these early years.
Working alongside Andrew in youth ministry, Annette got a chance to work the camera from time to time. But it wasn’t until 2007 that she began to assist Andrew with weddings for 28Twenty. Her ability to learn quickly, as well as her incredible heart to serve others (whether it’s her husband, the bride, or anyone else), makes her a tremendous asset to the 28Twenty team.

Describe yourself || Passionate. Considerate. I love to laugh and have fun. I guess you could say I have a servant’s heart — I love to do things for other people that make their day.
Some of your interests || My #1 interest is “my boys.” I love to cook and do crafty things. The things that currently take up much of my spare time are hooking up with friends through MySpace, watching Food Network, and working out.
Things you look forward to || Warm weather. Our 10th anniversary cruise. All my children being potty trained and in school — which means never having to change another poopy diaper!
TV shows you’re into right now || I have really gotten into the reality show The Biggest Loser, which has inspired me to do something to get in shape. I have discovered that working out is not that hard, and eating a little more healthy is really easy when you put your mind to it.
A favorite quote || “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” -Martin Luther King, Jr.

John, Videographer/Sound Tech
John is a native Sooner who moved to Springfield, Missouri as a teenager. It was here in the Show Me State where he would eventually meet life-long friends Andrew and Annette. Their friendship took them to Ohio for ministry, but for John — like Andrew – ministry ended up bringing out the filmmaker within. It began with the two collaborating on several youth ministry video projects together, and four years later it developed into a discussion about a new company. These conversations became reality with the birth of 28Twenty.
John’s creative eye behind the camera, along with his expertise in audio technology, make him a vital member of the 28Twenty team. The close friendship between John, Andrew, and Annette over the years has cultivated a like-minded spirit in almost everything — not just wedding videography — which truly makes 28Twenty a team effort.

Some of your interests || All things video. I love history and sports. Listening to music is a huge part of my life. I think there’s something a little magical about music…probably because I’m not gifted in that area at all. I love to hang with friends.
