Happily Ever After Starts Here...
A real-life Cinderella and Prince Charming met at a theme park, started dating, and got married. The end result is a family focused on FAITH and centered in CHRIST. Together they engaged with people in a way that few others have. Throughout various lifechanging hurdles and the daily ups and downs of childrearing, Scott and Jenny gained insights into what people are really chasing in the world and it's not a glass slipper! Twenty-nine years and counting- their journey can help you understand God's Joy-Filled Plan for Your Life.
Castle to Cross is intended to grow fearless leadership, joyous marriages, and faith-filled parenting. Entertaining story-telling, rooted in a strong dedication to the Catholic faith and Catechism, are the medium for their craft!
Jenny left her management career as a leader at Disney and the staffing industry to raise their two boys, Wyatt and Rhett. While doing that she published over 15 fiction novels, taught homeschool, sold real estate, and now runs the family's small farm. She is passionate about helping women live fulfilling lives in Christ, sustaining joyful marriages, and raising strong, loving children. She also loves animals ...and as a result, has lots of them.
Scott went on to become a corporate executive at Wyndham and AAA National. He coached baseball, football, and ice hockey for years and was a professional leadership speaker prior to joining AAA. Scott left his executive position after 30 years in corporate life to start Castle to Cross.
After years of serving their parish & diocese through retreats, Cursillo, lectoring, and various other ministry work, Scott and Jenny have started Castle to Cross to give their experience and talents full time to serving Christ through the creation of this lay apostolate.
Understanding God's Joy-Filled Plan for Your Life Can Be as Simple as: Learning how to follow and lead at the same time, raising Christ-centered children, and listening to teachings curated by Catholics for Catholics! Victory in Christ is Yours- You only need to claim it!
Scott's Bio
Scott is a devout Catholic and has served on many parish retreat and Cursillo weekend teams. He is also a long-term lector for his parish and has also played his alto sax at church.
On the career side, Scott started working for Walt Disney World just after graduating from college. His first role was in Entertainment but he worked in casting, operational insights, and pricing, where he built the first price elasticity models for WDW Merchandise. The highlight of his time with Disney was being selected by the President of Worldwide Operations as a Walt Disney World Ambassador. The Ambassadors were first selected by Walt Disney himself to be his personal representative to the world. The tradition continues all around the world with new Cast Members being selected to represent the Cast and Leadership of their resort.
Scott eventually became an executive with Wyndham as a Vice President of Analytics, Workforce Management, and Business Intelligence. He led the creation and development of the analytics team from scratch. Eventually, he joined AAA, Inc. in research and led the transition from traditional research to a digital insights team. He was asked to lead a similar transition for the AAA Diamond Program, where he brought in ATP testing, created a Diamond consulting department, developed a hotel training program, and launched the first AAA Diamond Top 10 Lists.
In 2015, Scott self published his first book Lessons from the Castle and began speaking on leadership and purpose. After 30 years in corporate life, Scott has "stepped out of the boat" and dedicated himself to speaking and writing for the Lord full-time!
Jenny's Bio
Jenny is a 6th generation Floridian and grew up in a cattle ranching family. This lifestyle became the inspiration for her first Christian Fiction YA Novel Redneck Debutante and The Redneck Debutante Series.
Jenny considers herself to be a natural-born entertainer. Singing, dancing, and performing from a young age, it was not a surprise to her family that she went to work at the theme parks in the midst of college. Jenny's first job was a stage show at Epcot where she was cast as a swing elf, learning the choreography for every elf on-stage. From there she worked in entertainment playing all sorts of characters- and we will leave it at that to protect the little ones who still believe in that magical experience.
Jenny graduated university and became a manager shortly afterwards. She worked every job she had to to support her family. From preschool teacher to retail sales, even substitute teaching and real estate, Jenny has worn more than just a cowgirl hat!
Laughter is the code she lives by. Faith, Hope, & Love, but the greatest of these is Love. Her children recently reminded her to always remain her positive, powerful, passionate, and purposeful self. She plans on sharing that mindset with you and helping everyone work towards Victory!
