Speaker

Wes Halula

Wes Halula has spent the majority of his life being a ham. When he was younger, this really worked against him. Later in life, he figured out how to harness his energy for good. Wes has appeared in many commercials, performed in theatre across the Midwest and west coast, and performed with Comedy Sportz in Kansas City, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles. Wes is best known for his "day job" as one of the members of HappyFunTime, an improvisational and sketch comedy troupe. He uses his broadcasting degree from Northwestern College in St. Paul, MN when HappyFunTime produces their "sketch comedy parables." These videos are used in youth groups across the United States. He spent a good portion of the past five years wearing tights and a big foam box being the Idea Box for Best Buy. Wes desperately wants to see the world the way God sees it. He wants to love people the way God loves them. And he'll never pass up the opportunity to tell people just how much God has done for us. Website: www.happyfuntime.net

Musician

Todd Miller

"There was always music in the house.  Whether it was my mom at the piano with the Lutheran Book of Worship, or my dad listening to Jim Croce and James Taylor, musically, it was a great environment to grow up in."  Todd's music offers fresh perspectives on life, death, faith and love.  Playing in coffeehouses, churches, and youth events in 42 states and internationally, Todd Miller (who also plays with the Christian bands, Echelon and mudhouse) loves good music, good food, fly-fishing and Jesus.  Todd lives in Virginia with his wife, Jennifer, and sons, Sean and Liam and is looking forward to getting to know your group this weekend!
