Joey joined the team at Shepherd in September of 2022. His primary responsibility is to care for, unify, and lead all discipleship ministries, including children, students, and adults. He is also a part of the teaching team at Shepherd. He and his wife, Bethany, are passionate about whole-family discipleship. They have been married since 2012 and have three amazing kids, Graham (5), Riley Ann (2), and Grady (newborn). Joey loves to spend time with his family and all things Columbus sports! But there’s a good chance – if you’re looking for him – you can find him at a nearby disc golf course.
