Producer, Director, Camera & Prime-Time Editor

Hi, my name is Dr. Layne McDonald. I have over 20 years of film and television experience, working on fantastic projects with genuinely talented and passionate people. Coming from NPR radio in high school to working on indie films and finding myself amid giants on "Passion of the Christ," "City of Ember," "I Am David," and "Polar Express," I was quickly blessed to work on music videos in Hollywood and sit at the feet of some of the most unique talents in Hollywood history. Today, I have journeyed through those great halls of film music and even worked as a Media Director for a well-known and respected bank. I have had incredible mentors along the way and am blessed to work with amazing people with big hearts and unique spirits. I am blessed to be a blessing.

With a Ph.D. in Administration and Management and a Master's in Communications, I co-founded I Love You Period and founded You Upgraded. As the Founding Communications Director for United for Life Foundation, my mission is to elevate everyone’s creative selves, helping them achieve their greatest potential through faith, love, and innovative strategies.

Store Manager

I have over 25 years of combined experience in business leadership and banking. I spent 20 years in the retail industry as a District Manager, Director of Operations, and Store Manager running multi million dollar businesses and leading large teams. That experience gave me a strong understanding of operations, profitability, and growth that I now bring to my clients in banking.

For almost 6 years I have worked in banking as a Vice President and Business and Personal Banker. I help individuals, families, and businesses with credit, risk management, and financial solutions that support both short term needs and long term growth.

I also earned my Commercial Banking and Credit Analyst (CBCA®) certification to strengthen my skills in credit analysis and commercial lending. I chose to invest in myself because I believe in always growing and making sure I have the knowledge needed to help my clients succeed.

I listen first and then design strategies that make sense. Whether it is helping a family plan for the future or providing financing to help a business expand, I focus on being a trusted partner who understands challenges and delivers solutions that work.
