Simone Finney is an avid reader, writer and accidental missionary from the foothills of Northern California. Growing up around all manner of farm animals prepared her for life in Büsingen, Switzerland, where she has lived since joining the Eurasia Communications Team in 2005.

As a volunteer, she put her Point Loma Nazarene University degree in journalism to good use and managed print communications for the region for two years, particularly "Where Worlds Meet," the region's monthly e-magazine (subscribe!). A regional missionary since October 2007, Simone still oversees WWM--but now she does all the administrative work as the Regional Communications Coordinator, too. So it's a good thing she likes e-mail.

She also likes children's literature, making sushi, swimming in the Rhine and musical theatre, except for "Oklahoma!".

Ben Potter grew up on the South Central Coast of California but left the Golden State for greener pastures and became an Oregon State Beaver after moving to Corvallis, Oregon. After all sorts of crazy twists and turns and graduating from Northwest Nazarene University, the med-school bound guy turned to web development and marketing and has been happy with all the geekiness that comes with that.

He is volunteering as the Eurasia Communications web designer and developer and when he's not doing that, spends time with his amazing wife and three kids. Somehow he finds some extra time to squeeze in some travel, too much coffee and few episodes of Frasier.

Todd Waggoner was born, raised, educated, and employed in Ohio his whole life (Go Buckeyes!). He graduated from Mount Vernon Nazarene University with a history degree, but finding no jobs at the history factory, he went on to get his master's in practical theology from Ashland Seminary. He loves his wife Kimberly as best as he can.

Todd thinks God is on move and that amazing things are happening in churches and Christians around the world. He also thinks that anyone with $50 should go buy Sports Night: The Complete Series on DVD as it is best television show ever produced.

Kim Waggoner grew up in Carmel, Indiana but found herself at home on the campus of Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, where she studied political science. After graduation she married a good Nazarene boy, which eventually led to signing up for Nazarene Mission Corps, which led to Büsingen, Switzerland. Here she is working at the Eurasia Communications Center as the managing editor of "Where Worlds Meet," the monthly e-magazine for the Eurasia Region. While she loves her current job, her lifelong dream is to someday work for the International Justice Mission in Washington DC as a real-life superhero.

When she's not plotting to save the world, she enjoys reading the news, Greek food, hanging out with the teens in her youth group, and watching The West Wing episodes over and over again. 

Rich Walker is the master of all things technological for European Nazarene College, the Eurasia Regional Office and the Eurasia Communications Center. Known as "Special Case" to his closest friends, Rich enjoys riding his bike, cleaning his bike, talking about bikes and fixing other people's bikes. His lifelong goal has been to have a dog named "Dollar" (after the canine in "Richie Rich"), but when he acquired a puppy in Argentina, he settled for "Peso" (which is sort of the Spanish version).
