They have raised 3 sons and 1 daughter. While living in Sevier County they both volunteered in church faithfully while working full-time jobs. Tommy was a log cabin builder and Kristie a schoolteacher. In 2008 they met Pastor Ronnie Hepperly and began serving at Rio Central. Tommy led worship and disaster relief ministry. After moving to Maryville in 2010 they began leading the youth ministry. In the fall of 2013 Pastor Ronnie made them the Pastors of Rio Central. Their heart is for church to be a family. They desire to grow the family of God by teaching the Bible, building relationships and meeting the needs of others. The next chapter is going to be very exciting!
