Earl is an underdog for songwriters and is dedicated to providing opportunities for new writers to be heard. In his FCMA role, he works closely with media contacts to keep them abreast of both our events (such as the Pearl Awards and FCMA Music Workshop) and the current face of faith-centered music.

Todd is the newest addition to the FCMA Board of Directors. He is a prolific pianist, arranger and songwriter, perhaps best known for his song "Did They Know," which is widely performed as a solo and choral piece during the holidays. It is also the title cut from his debut album. He continues to write songs for this market, most recently for Power in Purity: EFY 2007. He and collaborator April Moriarty Lowry have recorded three volumes of an instrumental album series for piano and violin, entitled My Redeemer Lives (Volume 1: Calvary, Volume 2: Galilee, and Volume 3: Bethlehem). Todd has performed for "Concerts on Temple Square," and Todd and April are the co-producers and lead performers of "An Alpine Christmas," a multi-artist holiday event performed annually in Alpine, Utah. Todd is a recipient of a LDSBA Listener's Choice Award and finalist for a number of distinguished Pearl Awards.

Jeff founded the Faith Centered Music Association in 1997 and continued as its Managing Director until 2005. He remains on the board as the Director of Administration. Jeff is the former chairman and CEO of Excel Entertainment Group, Inc., where he shepherded several record labels, Excel Retail Distribution (a media distributor for music, video, software and books) and a motion picture division responsible for the independent promotion of grass roots hits like God's Army. Prior to his work in this market, his film industry career included stints at Disney Studios, Network Television Group, Touchstone Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures, Hollywood Pictures and Buena Vista Pictures. His film expertise was a point of inspiration at the outset of the FCMA, when the first annual Pearl Awards were conceived for television broadcast. Jeff produced and directed seven telecasts of the Pearl Awards between1998-2004. Since the merger of Excel Entertainment Group with Deseret Book in 2005, Jeff has served as executive vice president and chief marketing officer of Deseret Book.
