• Judy organized KNLC's telethons from 1988 through January 2007. She sold airtime for KNLC and the Here's Help Network until July 2007.
• She organized and team-taught media seminars providing churches and other groups information about doing their own broadcasting on TV and radio.
• Blind since birth, Judy is an inspiration and community advocate for the disabled. As often as she could, her TV and radio shows featured interviews about disability advocacy issues. She serves on the Wolfner Library Advisory Council in Missouri. Several years ago, she served as public relations chair for the Task Force for Fair Transportation and was a member of the St. Louis Leadership Forum.
• Judy and her husband Ray and their two children Melody and David live in St. Louis. Melody is 23, and a graduate of Maryville University. She married Jeremiah Cooper in August, 2009. Melody is a commercial interior designer and Jeremiah is an EMT, with hopes of soon becoming a parametic. David is a senior at Lutheran High South, a drummer and a football player. Judy and Ray are both elders at Trinity Christian Assembly of God Church. Their entire family leads music during the Sunday morning worship service.

• Since January 2008, Judy has been manager of Joni and Friends Gateway, a branch of the international disability organization, whose founder and director is Joni Eareckson Tada. Joni was 17 when she was injured in a diving accident and lost the use of both her arms and legs. Her international ministry is helping disabled persons and their families around the world.
• Judy says: "I am so happy to be a part of the Joni and Friends team! My parents accepted and help me accept my blindness early in life. They always challenged me to do my best, and to accept the challenges before me rather than running from them. They and others also taught me the importance of becoming self sufficient, and a stereotype changer. It is a joy now to be able to give to others what has been so painstakingly instilled in me all of my life. I treasure all the pioneering opportunities the Lord gave me. What an awesome and learning experience it was for me to help build, maintain and host shows on Christian TV and Radio stations in Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, and Kansas!
  Now I look forward to helping churches build or expand their outreach to persons with disabilities in Missouri and southern Illinois. Many persons with disabilities contact me and I am able to pray with them and encourage them, direct them to resources and link them up with a good home church. If your church wants to start a ministry or expand its ministry to persons with disabilities, please contact me at 314-644-6908. Consult our web site www.gateway.joniandfriends.org for more information about the work of Joni and Friends Gateway."
