She has appeared on primetime national television and lectured throughout the world. She created an information empire in the underwater photography market, giving seminars, underwater film festivals, courses of instruction, and much more.

Naturalist: Joycebelle's love of adventure drew her to the ocean to photograph and write about the wonderful life there: sea otters, manatees, dolphins, whales, giant octopus, and many more underwater critters. She dove with the greats in the underwater world, Captain Jacques Yves and Philippe Cousteau, Lloyd, Beau, and Jeff Bridges, Ron Church—her late husband, a noted underwater photographer—and many others.

She obtained her BS degree and teaching certification at Eastern Michigan University, and did graduate work at San Diego State University and the University of California at San Diego.

Mother: Acclaimed by her readers as the Goodness-Maker, Joycebelle is foremost a mother of two wonderful, loving adult children, Joy and Erik. The three have become best friends and enjoy traveling, surfing, skin diving, skiing, reading, watching movies, going to the theater, singing, playing music, laughing, walking, talking, and working together. Joycebelle's Number One occupation is being a mom. As she says, "Parenting is the most remarkable of all jobs in the world and is the greatest gift to humanity. And the best part of it all is telling stories to kids."
