Kayla, a Virginia native, came to Texas in order to study at Abilene Christian University. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communication as well as a Master of Arts degree in Organizational Communication. Kayla has seven years experience teaching at the university level covering such areas as multi-media, communication, and graphic design. In 2001, she founded IN-Focus Digital as a video production company. Utilizing her experience and forward thinking abilities, she quickly expanded the company's services to incorporate strategic marketing, graphic design, and website construction. She saw her clients' need for promotional consistency across multiple-media outlets, and met the challenge. Kayla is the backbone of IN-Focus Digital, constantly looking ahead of the current trends to help her clients stay competitive in an ever-changing new media climate, and continually giving back to the community from which those clients have come.

Kayla has served the community through various roles with local non-profits, her church and through her work on various boards. She is the Past-President of the Abilene Rotary Club and is a board member for the Noah Project and Cancer Services Network. Kayla is married to her biggest supporter, David. Together, they have enjoyed living and working in downtown Abilene for the last eleven years.

David is married to Kayla, and thus is married to IN-Focus. David received his Bachelor's degree from Oklahoma Christian University in Communication followed by both a Master of Arts in Communication and a Master of Education from Abilene Christian University.

David worked for 16 years in Education for public schools as a teacher and for Region 14 ESC and ACU in faculty development. Along the way, he also worked nights and weekends with IN-Focus. Thus, as he improved his skills and knowledge base of active learning, online education, training and development, and face-to-face teaching, he also honed his videography and edting skills.

In 2017, he left Academia to work full time with IN-Focus as COO, which he prefers to say stands for Chief Optimism Officer.
