About
A little about me:
I was born and raised on a small farm in Montana. I met Heather at Trinity Bible College and wasn't taking a chance on losing her -so we got married forever. I have three kids each with their own unique giftings.Â
I have served on staff at churches of various sizes and denominations varying from kids, worship, youth, family and executive pastor roles. I served on staff at The City Church (now Churchome) in the Seattle area overseeing the elementary ministry at their seven campuses. The rain pushed us south to California sunshine. I served as an executive pastor at a seeker-sensitive church in the Bay area; then transitioned to a mega-church in the central valley as Family Pastor overseeing kids, students, parenting and married ministries.
While in California I served as an Area Kids Director for the SoCal Assemblies of God network helping encourage and train kids pastors/leaders. I speak at camps and conferences, wrote curriculum for the national Assemblies of God offices, and created video curriculum for overseas missionaries.Â
Heather and I now reside in central Ohio near family doing consulting work for churches across America. We love Disney experiences, road trips to National Parks, and Saturday morning breakfast.
WHAT ABOUT FRESH?
FRESH came from a season of Tony and Heather seeking the Holy Spirit on new ways to do ministry.Â
"I asked Him to use the gifts, talents and experiences I had been given to make the biggest impact for the kingdom." From that came innovative consulting ideas and the desire to help churches across the country create better ministry models.Â
To take small churches and equip their leaders. To challenge large churches to focus on volunteers like never before. To challenge the health of the family. To help parents disciple their kids. To see a new generation forever impacted. To prepare the way of the Lord.
FRESH Minsitries includes kids ministry coaching and volunteer development, on-site assessments, video training, kids online curriculum, facility remodeling with rebranding assistance, and special event speaking for kids, students, marriage, parenting, and families.
