Denise
As a former marketing executive with Cheryl's Cookies and Victoria's Secret, I led customer-facing strategy teams including Ecommerce, Direct Mail, Retail Stores, and B2B Sales channels.
​
I entered the non-profit world in 2012, then after the death of my son, I founded a non-profit organization - Franklin County Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors dba: LOSS Community Services. LOSS exists to be an instillation of hope to the bereaved by suicide. Under my leadership over 5,000 loss survivors were provided support through the LOSS Team model, Supporting Groups, Companioning and In-Touch programs.
I am the co-owner of Postvention Consulting, LLC, and Director Emerita of LOSS Community Services. I equip and support fellow postvention champions to develop and implement suicide postvention programs locally and at a state level throughout the world.

Robbie
I have had a multifaceted career working in television, printing, and other marketing related industries. I am also a Bible teacher and have served as an associate pastor.
​
This changed in August of 2012, when I lost my stepson, Drey, to suicide. Since then, I helped Denise start LOSS Community Services in 2014 to bring hope to others who had experienced such a tragedy.
While there, I served as a Postvention Coordinator, focusing on the marketing and technology needs of LOSS Community Services, and as an On-Scene Responder, Companion, and Support Group Facilitator until 2022.
​
I am now the co-owner of Postvention Consulting, LLC. Along with my wife Denise, I equip and support fellow postvention champions to develop and implement suicide postvention programs locally and at a state level throughout the world.
