Tony and Nikki met in college, have been married since 2009, and now have a beautiful daughter, Ella.  They have always felt a call to serve the Lord together. From the start, they knew that they had the desire to church plant and that the Lord was preparing them. When they moved to Las Vegas, NV in 2008, they began serving and working at a church where they were discipled and trained for 15 years.

In the summer of 2023, God called them to step out and open their home to invite the community to their table. Since then, God has been creating a beautiful community through His Spirit that is now called, The Garden Church.

Tony graduated from Western Seminary in Portland, OR with a Masters in Applied Biblical Leadership. As a family, they love traveling together (especially to the beach!), spending time with family and community, movie nights, and living each day as one great adventure.
