Richard is the founder of Camp Creative. He is the proud father of three daughters and two stepsons. He is a lifelong practitioner of filmmaking and photography. He enjoys reading a good business story in the HBR savoring Sonoma zins or a Bend IPA and sharing his mutual love of cooking with his beautiful wife. One of their favorites is pan roasted chicken with roasted fingerling potatoes. Recipe ideas are always welcome!
At his core Dan is a storyteller. He spent the better part of a decade in network news more than a decade in the PBS system and lets just say hes also earned his battle stripes in the corporate and commercial world. The only thing he loves more than hearing a good story is telling a good story. Occasionally he takes a break from storytelling though. You can then find him seeding the rough with errant tee shots and knocking the yellow off of tennis balls.
Paula is one of those people who organizes spices in alphabetical order and cannot rest until everything is in the right place. Her former role as director of corporate events for the Associated Press honed her organizational and workflow skills that benefit our agency today. Baking is her stress relief therapy and there is no place she would rather be than in the kitchen cooking with her talented husband and preparing gourmet meals for their blended family of two boys and three girls.
Mike brings a balanced background as a seasoned creative director. He is just as comfortable behind the lens as he is crafting a strategy for diverse audiences. After 15 years building up boutique agencies in Southern California and starting his family Mike and his wife moved to Bend for a better quality of life and entrepreneurial opportunities. He found it in Camp Creative. An adventurer at heart he enjoys fly fishing on the Deschutes split boarding in the cascades and mountain biking the local trails.
Bruce did not grow up wanting to be a creative director but in hindsight it all makes sense given his highly irregular path. He studied music and later performed original songs in Greenwich Village dives was a staff writer on an unmentionable TV show and his short stories (which he continues to write) appear in literary magazines youve probably never heard of. In fact writing fiction has honed Bruces appreciation for story theme and character which (not coincidentally) figure into the ’creative narrative’ of any effective marketing. Away from work Bruce can be found cycling along the Bay Trail watching his two sons play baseball and sitting at a favorite cafe fueling his existential angst with a double macchiato.
Jordan looks at most things in life through a designers lens. He often buys beer based on how much he likes the label. It only seems appropriate that he ended up designing and animating for Camp Creative. Jordan has a background in multimedia and enjoys exploring multiple creative directions before finding the best solution. When the weather outside is frightful blockading his golf game Jordan reverts to sipping tea out of his favorite pantone mug while watching Game of Thrones.

Amber studied literature and French in college before moving to Paris for several years where she worked as a technical writer for a large telecommunications manufacturer. She likes to think her time spent exploring French culture helped her recognize good marketing and storytelling but maybe it was her appreciation for creative expression that drew her to France in the first place. Back in the States she used her communication and business skills (she also has an MBA) to develop content and lead administrative and customer service teams at a variety of companies including Getty Images. She loves working with creative people and gathering new perspectives. She balances work by spending time with her family reading and running the trails of Central Oregon.
Susan is a study in contrasts. She grew up in Pennsylvania but the lure of San Francisco proved too strong. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Philly but she realized that she was also attracted to working the business side of her brain. So Susan started her own financial management company for non-profits and small businesses. Susan was able to marry the artistic and financial worlds when she began managing Camp Creatives business in 2001. Susan has been known to sing a little country and bluegrass from time to time has a passion for history and antiques and occasionally helps her husband a maritime antique dealer. Susan also has two lovely daughters.
Jackie is a rare find in the world of SEO. She translates high level strategy discussions into actionable search engine optimization. Data delights her and under her watchful eye web traffic and rankings grow like a well-tended garden. Before her career in SEO she spent many years in corporate IT followed by 7 years as a diamond cutter in the jewelry business (seriously). Theres a metaphor in there somewhere; both career choices are about identifying the diamond in the rough and cutting through the clutter. In her free time she enjoys yoga running walking biking gardening cooking and spending time with her family.
