Fr. Joey grew up in Marietta and graduated from the University of Georgia. After years of teaching art in the Public school, coaching swimming and cross country, and working in Youth Ministry, he and his wife Brandie felt that God was calling him to seminary. In 2008 they moved their family to Wilmore, KY so that Joey could work on his Masters of Divinity from Asbury Theological Seminary. He graduated in 2011 and served for 4 years at Truro Anglican Church in Farifax, VA as the Associate Pastor for Family Ministries. In 2015 he became the rector of Church of the Outer Banks in Nags Head, NC. In January 2021 he and his family moved Newnan, GA to begin planting St. Barnabas Anglican Church. He is currently working on his Doctorate of Ministry, and is the author and illustrator of The Nicene Creed Illustrated and Instructed for Kids. He has been married to Brandie since 1999, and they have four amazing kids; Sam, Jack, Luke, and Lila.
