Tony is the Director of Student Ministries here at TBC. Tony grew up in Columbus, Ohio and moved to Marion in the winter of 2001 where he began attending Trinity with his wife Kelli (who grew up in Marion and attended TBC as a child) and for three years volunteered his time in many areas of the student ministry department.

In the spring of 2005, after much prayer, Tony felt God calling him to full time ministry and so he applied and was accepted into Liberty University’s School of Religion Distance Learning Program. In addition to returning to school, Tony was afforded the opportunity to enter into full time ministry with TBC where he feels blessed to be able to put into practice what he is learning in School. With God by his side, Tony hopes to receive his Bachelor of Arts in Religious Education, in the fall of 2008.

When not buried in his studies or hanging out with his students, Tony enjoys spending time with his wife of 10 years (Kelli), their three year old daughter (Olivia) who incidentally has her daddy wrapped around her little finger and their second child who is due to arrive this thanksgiving (2007)! Cooking on the grill, TRYING to play golf and listening to music are ways in which he relaxes (as if golf were relaxing!).

There is so much more Tony would like to share, but to keep it brief, he will tell you that “through the unconditional love, the patience and the support of my beautiful wife, I found the Lord and surrendered my life to His Son Jesus Christ”.

Tony goes on to say “Each day I thank him for his gift of salvation, for my family, for my students and for my Brothers and Sisters at TBC. I pray the Lord will continue to use me as vessel to reach students and families all in the great and mighty name of His Son Jesus Christ”!

Tony would love to meet and share with you in person! Feel free to contact him at either tony@tbcmarion.org or 740-361-6513.
