Meet the Amplify Story Co. Team

JD is a visionary storyteller using video as his canvas as a commercial producer and director. With his background in documentaries, he’s best at telling stories that evoke empathy and grit with an agile and efficient production crew. His narrative feature writing and directing debut, After the Gunflint, was a festival darling, winning awards in London, Sweden, New York, Minnesota, and Iowa.

Stephanie’s form of visionary storytelling is primarily through the canvas of a pulpit, as she is the Lead Pastor of Mill City Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her experience building that community from the ground up to what it is today, has given her exponential wisdom for project management and the role that stories play in the communities we all long for.

JD and Stephanie are so passionate about storytelling and the roles that stories play in their lives that they named their dog, the most adorable Springer Spaniel on the planet, Story.
