Colette (Coco) Taylor is the Executive Production Director and the Director of Camp KidJam at The rethink Group. She was the Director of Family Ministry at North Point Community Church for 10 years where she oversaw all of the Grow Up conferences and had an integral part in developing all of the family ministry environments. Colette has two beautifully talented daughters; Kristi is 24 (and writing this biography) and Jessica who is 15. She has been married to my dad, I mean… her husband for over 25 years and they recently took an 11-day trip to Hawaii, where Colette plans to retire one day, that is, if Reggie will let her.

Susan Odom is an Assistant Director of Camp KidJam and she currently lives in Canton, GA with her 13-year-old Sheltie, Teddy. Susan graduated from Georgia State University with a degree in Accounting. She has been volunteering with KidStuf since the beginning and now works for The reThink Group as Director of Accounting where she lives out her dream as a bean counter. One day Susan hopes to win a Gold Medal for driving and using her iPhone at the same time.

Kristi Taylor currently lives in Atlanta and is very excited to return to Camp KidJam this summer as Assistant Director! She received her BA in Musical Theatre from Samford University in Birmingham, AL. While at Samford, Kristi worked with the Summer Theatre Camp for three years and had the opportunity to teach Creative Drama and perform several shows at a few Birmingham city schools. She also has extensive experience in retail including Bloomingdales and the world-renown Harrods in London. Kristi hopes to go to graduate school in 2010 and earn her Master’s in Theatre for Young Audiences.

Greg Payne aspires to be a fine woodworker, but realizes it would take more time, patience, and skill than he will ever possess. Fortunately, his roles as a writer/creator/product developer at The reThink Group, do not require him to measure, cut straight lines, or do much math. He is one of the original KidStuf actors but still prefers to not be called the “Worlds Oldest Gordo.” He was on staff at North Point Community Church for eight years in various creative capacities within Family Ministries. So far Greg has realized his dreams of becoming a husband of an incredible wife far above his anything he’s ever deserved; a father of two girls who despite his genetic contributions are beautiful and wise; and a motorcycle owner (probably listed in that order).

Brandon O’Dell is a professional actor with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Theatre from Shorter College. He has been performing as host of Kidstuf at Buckhead Church for four years, and he has worked freelance, writing Family Production scripts for two years before joining the ReThink staff. You can see Brandon’s latest work in the Stephen King movie, “The Mist” which came out in November 2007.

Growing up with a pastor for a father, Wyndi Beck began volunteering with children at an early age. She has led children and students from birth through college. She is excited about the opportunity to create a more holistic approach to influencing families in her role as the Family Ministry Director of Watermarke Church in Kennesaw, Georgia. Wyndi has also helped train family ministry leaders internationally and serves on the creative team for Camp KidJam. In her spare time, she's trying to figure out how to add more hours to the day.

Hannah Joiner has been involved with The reThink Group since the beginning. She is basically the reason that Reggie knows anything about parenting and thinks she should get more credit. Hannah is currently a junior in college and has been involved with KidStuf dancers and singers since 1996. She is co-choreographer for 252 Basics and is on the music development team for Amber Sky Records.
Hannah is also on the creative team for Camp KidJam. Hannah loves students and wants to work with teenagers fulltime when she grows up.
