As for the unique company name of "Hanging Cow Productions," Elise is quite familiar with livestock! (horses that is) She was an accomplished, 4-H leader and professional horsewoman since the age of 14, having ridden, trained, & shown horses for over 10 years in English & Western riding. She has won several collegiate Acting & Writing/Directing awards, and she is a published poet, magazine, and web author.

Originally from a very small town in Nevada which she anonymously yet humorously refers to as "Hellhole," desperate to leave the desert, Elise went off and studied Writing, Acting, Theatre/TV Production, and Broadcasting for 3 years in San Francisco and for 5 years in Los Angeles. She has worked diligently and ambitiously in every aspect of the entertainment industry from performing on stage and on television and film, to a disc jockey and news producer for KGLE/KPTL Radio (West Coast), and in helping launch and develop a television pilot for Universal Studios, Hollywood.
