Stacy Windahl is a graduate of Kenyon College and Baldwin Wallace University with degrees in economics and business administration. She studied gracious hospitality for a season on Mackinac Island. No degree was conferred. Instead, she received a lifelong love of the island.

For twenty-five years, Stacy has been a marketing communications writer for both nonprofit and for-profit organizations. She coauthored a book on the magic of working for The Walt Disney Company from the experience of C-suite executive, Jody Dreyer (Beyond the Castle: A Guide to Discovering Your Happily Ever After [Zondervan, 2017]).

Stacy enjoys entertaining, travel (she studied economics and theology for a year in St. Andrews, Scotland), a hot cup of coffee, and a good story, believing every person has a story worth telling.

She, her husband, Jeff, and dog, Winnie, live in her hometown of Bay Village, Ohio, on the Lake Erie shore. Their son and daughter, their spouses, and recent additions to the family make their homes in the Cleveland area as well.
