Andy Schoonover is a respected leader in all things business, having served for nearly 10 years as the director for one of the largest providers of telehealth modeling, VRI, as well as serving as managing partner for Lion Venture Partner. But when a tragic life event pulled him into the abortion conversation, he pivoted to use his business savvy to help provide better choices for women’s reproductive health care in an effective way. Andy is a father to three little girls, the first of whom passed away mere hours after entering the world. Throughout the pregnancy, doctors told Andy and his wife that their baby’s life was not expected to be viable, and they faced the difficult decision of whether to end their pregnancy. Together, Andy and his wife chose to carry her to term. Being with their sweet girl Grace during her short life on earth proved to be one of the greatest gifts they would ever receive, while losing her posed the strongest sadness they would ever know. In navigating that difficult experience and discovering how few resources there are available for parents who are wondering whether or not to terminate a pregnancy, Andy and his wife founded Carrying to Term to provide resources, statistics and support to families facing a similar choice. In 2017, Andy would continue his work in the non-profit world by becoming CEO of Austin Life Care. Today, Andy oversees the expansion and multiplication of Texas holistic women's clinics under The Source, a thorough resource that truly seeks to empower every woman walking through their doors. The Source works to meet every need and answer all questions a client may have by providing counseling, pregnancy tests, cancer screening, STD/STI testing, Well Woman exams, ultrasounds and contraception, all cost-free, if needed. Andy and his wife Stephanie live in Austin, Texas, with their two daughters.

Angela Maden was born the first time in a hospital in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and the second time at a tent revival in Knoxville, Tennessee.
