Concert Artist
When Anthony was 16, his life was transformed forever. One Wednesday night, after hearing the gospel, he placed his faith and trust in Jesus—and his life hasn’t been the same since. Anthony is known for his highly relational, high-energy leadership and his dynamic teaching style. He brings God’s Word to life with personal stories that drive practical application, while always pointing to the grand narrative of Christ throughout Scripture. Anthony has been married to his best friend, Bailee, for 12 years. Together, they are raising two adventurous boys, Oliver and Judah. When he’s not spending time with his family or pouring into students, you’ll likely find him enjoying a great cup coffee—whether it’s a drip or an iced latte, coffee is a part of his everyday routine.
