Joshua & Theresa Wegner
Josh: Creator / Graphic design / artist / Game Developer
Joshua- husband of Theresa and father of 4, created Animo as a Christmas gift for his kids after observing how they interacted with, memorized, and shared other trading cards. Since he created Animo in 2016, Josh has been the lead character, concepts, game developer, and card designer. He loves tacos, hockey, Zelda, his family, and Jesus (but not in that order).
theresa: Parenting / devotional material / Social Media / customer careAs a mother of 4, Theresa understands that an invaluable part of the Animo cards is found in the interaction with kids and parents. Her primary role on the Animo team, is to maximize it's potential as a parenting and outreach tool- to help kids recognize harmful habits and make better choices with regards to kindness and compassion through the application of the scripture. Also, Theresa was the lead developer on the game version "Hide It In Your Heart", in order to provide a game that could be enjoyed by everyone in the family together- including novice or younger gamers!

Joshua Patton
sales / marketing / game development
Joshua joined the Animo team, roughly a year after it's creation (when it was called PocketPets) in order to help develop, refine, and play-test the game "Sharpen Your Sword" with Josh Wegner. Josh is a family man (wife and 3 kids), sport lover, and game fanatic. Best friends with Josh Wegner since childhood, the two have finally decided to channel their collective forces for the good of mankind (or rather, child-kind). With the game rules and play testing finalized, Josh has taken on a sales and marketing role and strives to help promote and teach the game "Sharpen Your Sword" and plans to host some live "How To Play" events in the near future.
