bpw|MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Christine Lauterborn
I grew up in Los Angeles where my first business experience was in bookkeeping and
office management, an excellent beginning to running any type of business.
In 1974, I moved to the U.S. Virgin Islands where the natural beauty drew me to becoming a freelance photographer, which led to studio camera person for the PBS affiliate, learning all aspects of TV production.
My husband and business partner, Frank Hurt, and I started Mountain Video Associates in 1980 - a high end, independent video production company where I produced videos, wrote scripts, edited video and sound.
Our productions included documentaries, commercials, TV programming and retail DVDs. We worked with many notables such as National Geographic, The Smithsonian Institute, Walter Cronkite, Good Morning America, Sony, and most recently Norwegian Cruise Lines. Our work took us to five continents and 30 countries.
At the inception of Ihe internet we began building websites, first for our own company, then for other small businesses. In 2008, we created Keystroke Media LLC, which encompassed video production and small business website development.
As our business prospered, it allowed me to go back to school part time (at age 45), earning a bachelor's degree in nursing science. Most of my RN experience was as case manager in the hospice setting, which was often difficult but also very rewarding, as most nursing is!
After 40 years in the Lesser Antilles, we semi retired to Tavernier in 2014. This is the closest we could remain to the Caribbean yet have access to better health care.
I now volunteer for the Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice of the Florida Keys. And Keystroke Media is still designing and developing small business websites.
My spare time passions: tennis, walking, reading and political activism.
