Todd is a writer, speaker, technical artist in the local church and founder of FILO. Formerly the Technical Arts Director at Willow Creek Community Church, he started FILO in 2015 to help other technical artists become more effective so that the local church can be more effective. In his free time he enjoys being inspired by Winston Churchill speeches and visiting the gravesites of U.S. presidents. Residing near Chicago, he and his wife Bissy have three kids and a dog...none of whom are into production.

Between having worked in the technical arts for a decade at Willow Creek Community Church and now being married to an audio engineer, Chelsea easily relates to the FILO tribe. In 2016, Chelsea realized that serving the FILO community was exactly where God wanted her. She has a strong passion for training and equipping the FILO tribe and her heart explodes when they all gather together and worship at events. In her spare time, Chelsea enjoys eating at new gourmet restaurants with her husband, marathon shopping trips with her sister and snuggles with her pups.

Sarah is in the Business of Developing strong partnerships with the best organizations that can help our FILO tribe get the right solutions to their church tech needs. When not making these magical connections, Sarah lives in spreadsheets, data analysis, and graph making. As a distraction from all things nerdy, she does digital art, (sometimes "real" art,) and immerses herself into sci-fi (including all the Dr. Who-s) and a ridiculous amount of comedy TV, which she approaches as if it were a team sport with her family.

Caleb Loeppky has been working in live event production for the local church for over 10 years. He is a technical artist that loves creativity and pushing the bar of excellence for teams around him. His heart is to create resources that help connect, inspire, and develop technical artists in the local church. One of his favorite things is to see other technical artists in the local church thrive in their positions and make the church better every day. He currently serves on the FILO Core team coordinating breakouts for the conferences across the United States and leads the FILO Staffing Division partnered with Slingshot Group. In addition to his work with FILO, he is the Production Director for a 7 campus multisite church in the Chicagoland area. Caleb and his wife Cassy live in the Chicago Suburbs with their three incredible kids Nora, Jaxon, and Asher. When Caleb isn’t out doing live production, he loves spending time with his family and smoking some great BBQ at home.

Jodi is a wife to Darren (a church tech guy), mom to two grown daughters and sons-in-law, and grandmother to the sweetest toddler girl. She loves seeing technical artists and leaders inspired and trained and is grateful to participate in that in her roles as an administrator for both FILO and for the Global Leadership Network. She lives in a suburb of Chicago, IL, and enjoys exploring the city, coffee dates with her husband, and travel (mostly to see her granddaughter!).

Kala was a graphic designer in the past and is excited to bring her customer service skills to FILO. She is passionate about event management and gets her scoop on the FILO community through her husband Nick, the Technical Director at Willow Creek Church in Huntley. Kala serves as a volunteer in the children's ministry at their church. She loves the color orange, coaching Cross Country at Jacobs High School, video-gaming with her husband, playing with her daughter, walking her dog, and eating ice cream.

Joanne serves as the Production Operations Director and Midweek Producer at Willow Creek's main campus. She started out as a volunteer stagehand at Willow over 34 years ago and joined the staff team about 20 years ago! She's been part of the FILO team since the beginning and absolutely loves playing a part in serving technical artists thru the FILO Conference and whatever else the FILO team cooks up! When she's not working she loves hanging out in her backyard, or better yet, the northwoods of Wisconsin with her family and her adorable pup.

Earlier in her career, Cassy Loeppky worked in church communications. Which set her up well to become the social media wizard behind the FILO accounts. When she isn’t busy brainstorming marketing ideas for us, you can find her enneagram nine self living that homebody life. Her favorite things (in no particular order) are her husband Caleb, her three kids, sweatpants, cereal, and vacuuming.
