Nikki Smith
LMNT Director / Women’s Discipleship Director
Nikki Smith is originally from Orange Park, Florida, and has one of the longest histories with Snowbird of anyone on our staff. She first came to SWO as a camper in 2002, the summer after she graduated high school, and came back as a chaperone with her church from 2003 to 2006. She served on Summer Staff from 2007 to 2010, then moved to Andrews as an intern from 2010 to 2012. In 2015 she joined our full-time staff as Recreation Director and stepped into leading LMNT that same year, where she has served ever since.
The Lord saved Nikki during her sophomore year of high school, but she didn’t really know what it looked like to be a disciple of Jesus until she came to Snowbird. SWO is where she learned how to study the Bible, share her faith, and disciple younger believers.
Today Nikki leads LMNT and women’s discipleship. What keeps her here is long-term discipleship: walking with staff over years, not just a summer, and equipping them to be leaders in their churches, their jobs, and wherever else the Lord sends them.
Nikki holds a Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

When asked what attracted him to Snowbird, Andy answered:
“The community. Coming from a restaurant, this is such a fresh breath of life and I’m excited to see me and my family grow.”
What keeps Andy here is that same community, and especially the men who have come alongside him to challenge him and hold him accountable to follow Christ more closely so that he can lead his family well. He hopes to stay as long as the Lord allows, doing what he loves every day, serving the Lord, and having the time to be with his family.

Their first trip to Snowbird was for a marriage conference in 2018. The Longs moved to Andrews in January 2020, and Adam joined our full-time staff that August. He handles the electrical side of camp and serves on the maintenance and facilities team.
Both of their children, Connor and Julia, attended Snowbird as campers, served on summer staff, and went through the Snowbird Institute. Adam loves the Gospel-driven ministry we’re focused on and the opportunity to develop life-giving friendships with others on our team.
Brodie Ellis
HVAC
Brodie Ellis is from Lake Butler, Fla. He first came to Snowbird as a camper in 2003, served his first summer on staff in 2010, and moved here full-time in 2012. Since then he has served on our Servant Team, spent two and a half years in India, and worked in HVAC for a year and a half.
Brodie now works on our facilities team, specializing in HVACR and plumbing maintenance. He and his wife, Caroline, have been married since 2015 and have two daughters.
“I’ve searched around the world and haven’t found anything more fulfilling than Gospel-driven, servant-hearted, relational, positive, hard-working ministry, and nobody does it better than my friends here at SWO.”
Blake Hinkle
Trade Staff
Blake Hinkle is from Tomball, Texas, just outside of Houston. Before coming to Snowbird, he worked in septic maintenance and construction, and also helped build underwater ROVs for oil and gas companies. After first visiting SWO as a camper, Blake was drawn to the strong community of believers he found here—a stark contrast to what he had back home. That desire for Christ-centered community led him to serve on the LMNT team, complete an internship, and now work full-time on the maintenance team, focusing on construction and general maintenance. Blake says he’s encouraged every day by serving alongside a team of believers who are united in the mission of glorifying the Lord. After his time at Snowbird, he hopes to continue serving others by building houses.
“I get excited about how the Gospel is presented and how everyone is on the same mission of advancing the Gospel.”
Samuel Habecker
General Maintenance
Samuel is originally from Marietta, Georgia, and previously worked as a custodial supervisor at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA.

“I’m excited to be a part of the team at SWO and love how SWO has always been about making the Gospel known and cultivating an environment where people can grow as followers of Jesus. What drew me to this role is the ability to be a part of creating a welcoming, distraction-free environment to help students and others encounter God!”

“The expansion of Snowbird really excites me. My life, marriage and faith were all changed forever by this ministry. Being able to accommodate more people and better facilitate guests… so that they can hear the Gospel faithfully proclaimed and be forever changed by Jesus is what I want to be a part of.”

When asked what attracted him to Snowbird, Andy answered:
“The community. Coming from a restaurant, this is such a fresh breath of life and I’m excited to see me and my family grow.”
What keeps Andy here is that same community, and especially the men who have come alongside him to challenge him and hold him accountable to follow Christ more closely so that he can lead his family well. He hopes to stay as long as the Lord allows, doing what he loves every day, serving the Lord, and having the time to be with his family.

Steve, better known to the Snowbird family as, “The Big Kahuna,” was a man used by God to start a ministry that has now affected unknown thousands of people for the past 2 and a half decades.
