Beryl grew up in Austin Texas, where her roots go deep. Beryl and Craig met at Trinity College in Deerfield, Illinois when they were both freshmen. Sophomore year they fell in love and transferred together to Northern Illinois University where they both graduated in 1975.

Beryl has a degree in studio art with an emphasis on drawing painting and printmaking. In the early 80's she began her career in graphic design as a part-time freelance business out of the home. She bought her first Mac in 1988 and has never looked back.

 In 1995 Beryl began working full time as a designer in the communications department at Trinity International University. She designed catalogs, brochures, logos and other marketing materials for the school.

When Craig and Beryl moved to Colorado in 1999, she began working at the national office of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. She was hired as the production manager for Alliance Life, their monthly magazine. The job involved designing and laying out the magazine, and all aspects of its publication, including writing a children's section.

Beryl loves painting, reading, decorating, sewing, knitting and gardening. She is looking forward to helping Craig promote Peregrine Ministries and working with him behind the scenes to spread the word about the ministry.
