Johnny grew up in Webb City, Missouri in a Christian household. In high school, he attended a camp and was called to full-time vocational ministry. That call led him to attend Ozark Christian College. After college, Johnny’s position as a Media Director at Crossroads Christian Church brought him to the Dallas Fort Worth area of Texas. He met his wife at Crossroads.

Johnny and Kelli married in October 2019. They and their dog Emmett (named after Dr. Emmett Brown from ‘Back to the Future’) relocated to Liberty Township in July of 2023 from Dallas Texas.

Johnny likes to disc golf and go to the movies. You can find his Nintendo switch traveling with him wherever he goes. As a self-proclaimed nerd, he loves ‘Back to the Future’, ‘The Office’, and collecting Funko Pops. Johnny loves the local church and cannot dream of working anywhere else.
