In 1999, Paul Harmon, an engineer from Oregon, approached the Board of Oregon Right to Life and proposed a new method of outreach that was needed to capture the hearts and minds of Generation Y, the first generation to spend more time on the internet than watching TV. He proposed to reach into the minds of abortion-minded young women, we needed to reach them through the media they were using. This began the wheels turning as the site was developed and a marketing strategy was put into place.

Gayle Atteberry was the Executive Director of Oregon Right to Life and board member of National Right to Life from 1995 until her retirement in 2017. During her tenure the organization grew to become the state’s largest pro-life group. Ms. Atteberry has spoken nationally and internationally on pro-life issues. She was instrumental in founding Standupgirl.com, an international pro-life website saving thousands of unborn babies from abortion.

Ms. Atteberry lives in Eugene with her husband. They have two daughters, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Paul Carlson, an Oregon native from Canby, graduated from George Fox College before pursuing his Master’s in Teaching at Portland State University.

Paul spent 15 years at a National Brokerage Firm before founding his own RIA and Financial Planning and Investment company in 2015. As CEO and owner of 4:8 Financial, he not only leads the company but also actively manages client assets.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Paul is deeply involved in civic duties. He has served on the City Budget committee, held a position as City Councilor in Canby, and dedicated 14 years to the Chamber of Commerce, where he served as both a board member and President. He’s been a member of Kiwanis and Rotary clubs and teaches finance and investing classes at local schools.

Passionate about community service, Paul co-founded the Canby Dahlia Run, a fundraising event that has generated over $145,000 for local charities. He’s also a lead Trumpet player in the Willamette Valley Big Band and contributes his musical talents to the worship team at Athey Creek Christian Fellowship.

Paul also serves on the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Community Financial Advisory Council since 2023, when it was founded.

Paul’s commitment to philanthropy extends to volunteering as an emcee or auctioneer for charity events, supporting various causes close to his heart.

Residing in Clackamas County with his wife of 26 years and two children, Paul loves this area and giving back whenever he can.

Summer Shore is co-founder and director of Revive Ministries, an author and a speaker, as well as producer and co-host of the Experience Revival podcast.

For seven years, she was an on-air personality on several Christian radio stations, including 104.1 The Fish, 93.9 KPDQ, and HOPE 107.9. Summer has been speaking and teaching for almost 20 years, using humor and real-life experiences to connect with women, speak to their hearts, and draw them closer to God. She is passionate about living a life of worship and helping others experience the joy, peace, and power of a life lived with Jesus.

Summer and her husband, Jake, have been married since 2003 and have three sons who keep her on her toes! Summer loves traveling and going on adventures with her family, especially when it involves eating at her favorite Cuban restaurant.
