Carlyle Eubank is an outdoorsman, a woodworker, a writer, and soon— a husband. Born in Los Angeles but raised in the Santa Ynez Valley, he grew up surrounded by the influence of nearby rugged wilderness and if any embossment is immediately noticed about him it is this. His time backpacking in the local mountains and surfing off Point Conception instilled in him from a young age an awe for nature’s grandeur and perhaps a resolve or —dare we— stubbornness inspired by the inherent and steadfast defiance of those dramatic Transverse Ranges he would explore. Growing up in the tranquil —and indeed then downright sleepy— community of Los Olivos, he became a believer in the wisdom of straightforwardness: meaning what one says and saying it simply. That and creating good fun with what you have.
He attended Los Olivos School, inheriting some renascent but formative lessons likely imparted to both his older sister Rosanna and brother William and likely later revived on younger brother Winchester’s go-through. Los Olivos was a place of mentors that could be students’ friends, an appreciated rarity. It was here that he made one of his first films, entered into the junior high’s film festival, The Adventures of Scrubmuff and Crocodile Bob, an avant-garde exploration of violence both imparted by and on homeless drifters. It won first place.
At Santa Ynez, where he enrolled for high school, he ran track and cross country all four years. His pursuits here were rewarded, in his finishes themselves but more significantly in the lessons uncovered through the process and the strain. Academics were important as well and he also continued movie making with a short film that went to the Santa Barbara Film Festival’s youth competition, where it brutally lost to a documentary about building a small wooden ramp entitled To Build A Ramp, giving him one of his earliest career setbacks.
Not one to party his brains out on the weekends (at least while still a teenager), Carlyle spent years involved with his friends and family in Boy Scouts, serving as Senior Patrol Leader and attaining the highest rank, Eagle Scout. Trips to climb 14ers in Colorado would give him an early taste of the mountaineering experience—he later pursued greater heights in a summit of Aconcagua and an attempt of Everest.
After a brief stint at the care-free UC Santa Barbara and raucous Isla Vista and a short hiatus spent learning about coffee (one of his great appreciations), Carlyle departed the West (and best) Coast for storied Massachusetts, ostensibly to prepare himself for a lucrative career in i-banking. Attending the liberal-arts Amherst College, Carlyle continued his athletic endeavors as a member of the Amherst Cross Country team and majored in English, writing his thesis on Californian legend John Steinbeck and the Midwestern painter Thomas Hart Benton.
After four years he came in from the cold, returning to California where he assisted Will on his film Love, portraying a Union soldier in the American Civil War and seeing the movie making process up-close. Catching the bug and wanting his chance at a brass ring, he got himself five acres and a mule a dog (Scout, a German Shepard, who is adorable!) and set to work with Will and friend David on a screenplay, titled The Signal, about some college students who run cross country driving from Massachusetts to California and the tribulations they encounter on the way. It premieres at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
Author’s note
Carlyle is a man of strength and great will. He believes in the old-fashioned notion that with the perseverance of hands-on work and heart-open faith one will be rewarded, and he seems to be on to something. The decade and a half I’ve been lucky enough to have him in my life has been greatly improved by his company. I’m so glad I do know Car and I’m happy to help you get to know him with these few words, though they won’t do him justice. Congrats my friend!

Love, creativity and immense intelligence are three things that come to mind when describing Caitlin Marie Moss. Through her life, Caitlin has participated in events that have shaped her into a stunning and energizing woman. As a Marine brat, she was born in Fallbrook, California and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She spent her days in Albuquerque accomplishing a diverse spectrum of activities and skills. Through these accomplishments, Caitlin Marie grew into a multifaceted woman that makes her difficult to categorize. Her diverse skill set has allowed her to achieve anything and everything she has set her mind to (with the exception of pull-ups). With this, the next stage in her life, becoming a wife, will be an adventure that will allow her to shine as the amazing individual she is.
As the elder Moss sister, Caitlin paved her own path. Taking part in athletics, music, art and much more, she spent her elementary, middle and high school years running from activity, to yet, another activity. Her accomplishments as an artist began early; starting in kindergarten. Studying and learning about different mediums in art, displaying her work at art shows and receiving recognition for her talent; she received various Best of Show and Blue Ribbons at the New Mexico State Fair and other art shows around New Mexico and has been published locally and nationally. These awards and experiences are prevalent in her adult life. Receiving two Bachelor of Art degrees with summa cum laude honors in both Media Arts and History from the University of New Mexico added invaluable tools to her artistic knowledge. Her talent for creativity paved the way for her to pursue a career in the film industry.
Caitlin Marie’s athletic career began with middle and high school volleyball matches, golf rounds and martial art forms. These were soon left behind to pursue an interest that was sparked at an early age. Western horseback riding became the athletic endeavor to which she would strive to excel. Working in Colorado at the Adventure Unlimited Ranches through her college years allowed her to experience a variety of horse sports. This sampled knowledge introduced her to polocrosse, a horse sport that became her athletic endeavor throughout college. As her riding skills increased, Caitlin won the 2007 Staff Gymkhana and was voted president of the Albuquerque Habañero Polocrosse team in 2011. Like art, horsemanship became a core element of her life.
Caitlin Marie is a woman who has established herself as a talent. Her drive to improve herself in riding and art are two examples of how skilled she is. The motive to pursue these difficult and admired skills demonstrates her willingness to work hard and devote time to things of weight. Her passion for her endeavors as well as her love of life gives her the ability to stop a room upon her entrance. As a result of her personality, Caitlin, who does not have a shy bone in her body, saw a Facebook post from a friend and co-worker, whom she had not seen for several years. She messaged him saying, “I live in Albuquerque, let’s meet for coffee.” This resulted in Carlyle and Caitlin’s first steps in finding their love of each other.

My sister is a beautiful woman. She’s my hero and friend. I am very fortunate to have a big sister who has made my life so fun, full of laughter and life. We grew up being two peas in a pod and now, I am excited to watch her take the next, and biggest, step of her life.
