Laurie Matthews was born and raised in Dallas. She is a life-long member of The First Church of Christ, Scientist. She has enjoyed the fruits of the concept, “All Roads Lead to Dallas,” because it brought her true love and husband David into her life from Oklahoma City. After graduating from Principia College in Elsah, Illinois, she taught English to children in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Next, Laurie explored following in her father’s footsteps by working in the customer service department of a software company. In raising their three grown children, Laurie was an active volunteer in their Montessori school. She is active in her church, serving as Clerk and Reading Room Librarian. Andrew Wyly is an entrepreneur, investor, and film producer. Born and raised in Los Angeles, with some schooling in Switzerland, he has been a Texan by choice since 2004. After earning a bachelor’s degree in history from Denison University, Andrew worked as a sales agent for Green Mountain Energy and managed a portfolio for a hedge fund. He has continued his interest in political economics through participation with several think tanks. In 2007, he created the Andrew Wyly Film Company. Blood Shot, his first feature film, was completed last year.
