The Squad

A long-time aficionado of stories that inspire and inform, Kerry expanded her business acumen in 2017, serving as Executive Producer on the award-winning short film, “Emma Rae."  This project was written and directed by her longtime friend and Military Intelligence colleague,  Los Angeles-based filmmaker, Allen L. Sowelle.  

Due of the critical success of their collaboration, Kerry formed 05Hogs Productions LLC, where she oversees the acquisition of fiction and non-fiction projects with the profound desire to develop earnest, and engaging narratives that speak to the Warrior spirit in All of Us. 

Kerry spent the 16 years after she left her position as a U.S. Army’s Military Intelligence analyst in Cold War Europe, climbing the Corporate ladder; first in the computer industry as both Purchasing Manager and Sales Manager, and then as Global Project Manager and Six Sigma Black Belt at American Express. 

With this vast knowledge and experience, she then opened her first business, developing into 16 years of professional Tax Preparation and Bookkeeping.  Her financial insights and power are the nucleus of the 05Hogs operations.

Her most important accomplishments have been raising her three sons and daughter,  and now being an active grandmother.
