Brian is our chief of staff which basically means he’s a playground monitor with a whistle making sure that while we’re all playing games and goofing off, we do get a little work done as well around here. A Hoosier from up north where the land is flat and cold…aka, boring, he and his wife made their way down to Nashville in the 1900s to pursue the Christian music business. Brian worked in marketing in the Christian music industry for a long stint while also serving as a multi-site director at a mega church for several years. While he may know next to nothing about the gear we sell, his teenage son is an avid musician and reminds him every day how much of a novice he is!

Frank oversees all of our operations. From inventory tracking, to warehouse oversight and even the occasional Biliopancreatic Diversion. Originally from CA, Frank has a long history of leading tech divisions at major corporations. He spent several years in the marines and runs our ship with a dogged discipline that keeps us cowered and in line. His lunch hour is our favorite time of the day when we get to act like sugar crazed preschoolers until he comes back and scolds us. Thankfully Frank has us to boss around because as soon as he gets home, his beautiful wife and two boys have a “honey-do” list even longer than his CG job description. Did we mention that Frank is the (second) oldest in the company? We certainly remind him of it everyday!

Blake is the creative heartbeat of our team, leading branding, marketing, and content with brilliance we can’t imagine living without. Married far above his league and raising an army of cats, he’s been wired since childhood—thanks to his best friend, a worship pastor—to love and serve worship and tech staff. When he’s not shaping our story, he’s road-tripping to church and worship conferences (never flying, of course), bringing excellence, laughter, and loyalty everywhere he goes. Toby can’t imagine his life without Blake.

Jared is our resident rock drummer and has the tattered jeans to prove it. Personally owning somewhere north of four million pieces of gear, we decided to put him in charge of selling ours! He leads all of our sales and pricing strategies as well as leading the sales team. Jared and his wife met in middle school youth group at their church in Southern CA. He turned those boy band bangs in her direction, gave her a nod and said in a squeaky teenage voice, “I play the drums”. They now have a young son and Jared is constantly tearing toys out of his hands and replacing them with drum sticks. When not pricing gear or playing drums, you’ll find him and his family on the beach in FL. You’ll never catch his legs though outside of those rock star jeans. Hope you wash them every now and then, bro!

Edwin is ChurchGear’s version of a tech director. Ironically, he spent several years in the church world as a tech director so he was thankful not to have to change his title on his business card. Edwin grew up in Mexico City and married his wife who hails from Belarus. They have two little boys who will grow up speaking Spussianish (Spanish, Russian, and English). Edwin leads our tech department, overseeing all of the testing, certification and repair of the gear that enters through our doors. He and Frank secretly talk about the rest of us in Spanish but we’re learning to catch the key words like “tonto” and “cabeza de chorlito” to know when they’re talking about us. We suppose the most shocking fact about Edwin and his family is that they moved to join us from CA. This almost never happens!

Jonah comes from a long lineage of ChurchGear employees. He is one of at least two generations of “Day’s” to come aboard the company. Originally from Northern CA, he leads worship and uses guitar effects pedals to make whale sounds at many modern churches. Jonah does all things in our warehouse. From testing gear, packing and shipping and taking photographs to providing a strong competitor for the in-house “moustache-olympics”, he is an indispensable crux of our crew. Newly married to his beautiful wife, Steph, we are slowly but surely convincing them to start working on the third generation of Day’s to come aboard at ChurchGear.

Cobie is our lead admin and the glue that keeps the Tasmanian devil that ChurchGear is from spinning off into a million random pieces. Like half of our company, she is a refugee from CA. She’s married to a production wizard and while she doesn’t know the difference between an XLR and DMX, she can nod and smile with the best of them! Cobie also has two cute little boys and somehow balances it all beautifully. One of the most unique facts about her is that she has a degree in neuroscience and has done brain surgery on laboratory mice. We’re a little worried she may just be running secret experiments on the rest of us at ChurchGear but nothing has been proven yet. Although, there’s at least one of us around here that could use some neurological “updates”.

Kurley is a shift manager in our shipping and fulfillment department, bringing a never quitting work ethic and smouldering good looks to boot! Originally from New Mexico, he spent a few years in Illinois developing his calling in ministry and music before making his way to Nashville to embarrass the rest of the musicians with his incredible guitar chops. He used those guitar skills to woo his beautiful wife, Emily, to him like a great snake charmer with a hypnotic spell. With one young son at home and another in the oven, we don’t know how he has the energy to keep out shipping dept. afloat!

Tyler oversees all sales conversations at ChurchGear. Hailing from tiny Winslow, IN, (NOT the Winslow from that Eagle’s song) Tyler is the younger of two brothers and the definition of “lax”. He’s a guy who never seems ruffled, even when he’s quietly dismantling you in a battle of wits. He spent a stint as a youth pastor and attended Oakland City University “off and on… and then permanently off,” before discovering that selling gear to churches was the perfect outlet for his dry humor and knack for understanding what people actually need. Tyler married his college sweetheart, Morgan, and they have a daughter who already seems to share Dad’s poker‑faced sass. When he’s not on the phone with customers, you’ll find him working part time as a production member for his church, or musing aloud about whether fishing counts as a personality trait. One day he hopes to open a medium‑sized music venue in his hometown, because why settle for small talk when you can build a stage for it?

Jackson manages all of our product photos and moving gear through our intake system. Raised in the bowels of TN, he is the ringleader of his three younger siblings, Jackson grew up in a “wacky” household where cartooning aspirations somehow led to a life behind a drum kit and, eventually, behind a camera. He swears he went to Trevecca Nazarene University, but he refuses to brag about it, probably because he was too busy perfecting his ability to untie shoes with his toes. Today he lets his long curly hair do most of the talking, and indulges his obsession with microphones whenever he isn’t dreaming of renovating a van and touring the globe to collect rare mics. He’s not married yet, but his love affair with audio gear is about as serious as it gets.

Patrick is here for all customer support and success needs. He was born and raised in the Nashville area, the younger of two brothers in a family that acted more like upstate New York than Tennessee. While his classmates were dreaming of country music stardom, he wanted nothing more than to bash drums in a punk band and tour the world. He ended up studying music production and ministry at Lipscomb University, which turned out to be the perfect training ground for someone who spends his days making sure worship leaders get the gear and support they need. He’s married to Madison, and has a résumé that includes a blue ribbon for Guitar Hero from the county fair. Yes, really. When he’s not playing actual guitars (he has too many) or hunting down rare sneakers, you’ll find him obsessing over his espresso setup. If he retired today, he’d hop in an RV to train worship bands, while critiquing every guitar shop, coffee bar and shoe store from here to the Emerald Isle. It’s all in a day’s work for our resident Irish gear guru.

Jeremy oversees all of our listings and pricing of inventory, making sure every piece of gear finds its proper place in the ChurchGear universe. After years of floating on the ChurchGear waiver wire, he finally got the call-up and signed a contract bigger than Ohtani’s. Born in Smyrna, TN, and raised in a goofy family with two sisters (including a twin), Jeremy once dreamed of playing in a pop-punk band. These days he channels that same energy into spreadsheets and pricing strategies (which, let’s be honest, is almost the same thing). A proud MTSU grad, he’s married to Kat, and they’re the overly-devoted parents of two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels named Fleetwood and Joni. Jeremy’s hidden talent is holding his breath underwater longer than seems reasonable, and if he retired today, you’d find him, Kat, and the dogs in a sprinter van chasing music, coffee, and adventures around the world.
