Bailey is a Florida boy and it shows! He grew up at the hands of Disney World and Universal Studios, and oftentimes it's the only life he ever knew until he met Jesus.

Bailey is super pumped and honored to lead the next generation of Ridge Students into not just knowing about Jesus, but following Him in all and through all.

Originally from Virginia and more recently a resident of Charlotte, North Carolina, Holly and Todd relocated to Austin in 2018. God’s perfect timing led them to Texas just as the youngest of their three sons graduated from college. Now that their boys live all over the United States, their favorite pastime is planning great trips and adventures where they can reconnect as a family and enjoy the amazing scenery and handiwork of God. On a more personal note, Holly's passion for all things "organization" has been a blessing to the many homes and families she has served over the years as a family manager coach. Now, God is using those gifts and talents at the Dripping Springs campus.
