It was a sunny Nashville day in May of 2005…
Eric and Cleve first crossed paths at LifeWay Christian Resources where they served as web designers together. Through their careers and friendship, they’ve tackled multi-million dollar corporate web initiatives and numerous other innovative tasks.
Ultimately, Eric and Cleve moved on to other positions in different states, but they continue to have a “braintrust” and regularly collaborate on various projects.
Eric Murrell
Eric has been creating websites since he first discovered HTML on his Geocities site in 1996. After working for a large publishing company and a well-known design firm, he is now on staff at Long Hollow Baptist Church where he serves as the Interactive Communications Manager.
When he’s not writing code or fuming about page rendering in Internet Explorer, Eric can be found reading, camping and watching LOST. He and his (beautiful) wife Lauren live just North of Nashville, where they own and operate a small design company together.
Cleve Persinger
Cleve is the Executive Director of Web and Community Engagement at The Chapel where he’s tasked with helping folks “Rediscover God” by creating compelling experiences within the context of web and all external communications/marketing including community events, print, word-of-mouth, and advertising.
Prior to his current role, Cleve served as web designer for LifeWay Christian Resources, in Nashville, TN where he supported numerous web initiatives including the LifeWay Worship Project.
Off the clock, Cleve has a passion for church planting, leading worship, summer beach trips, mountain cabin retreats, Dallas Cowboys football, Atlanta Braves baseball, and rockin’ the title of “BBQ Connoisseur.” (Keep in mind he was born and raised in North Carolina.)
Cleve and his incredible wife, Katie, reside in the northwest suburbs of Chicago with their children, Cy and Charlotte.
