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.

I view Snowbird staff like a well-oiled machine whose only goal is to share the Gospel, and every role is working towards that goal, whether you’re building cabins or cleaning bathrooms. We all work towards the same thing, and that’s sharing the good news of Jesus.”

He has worked with students for two summers, in 2025 and 2026. As a program production assistant, Moxon plans events for retreats and builds the event schedule.

“Snowbird has one of the purest and most straightforward missions of any ministry out there.

Getting to see the Lord change lives and grow my own faith is so encouraging, which is why I love the role I get to serve in.”

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.

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.

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 is originally from Marietta, Georgia, and previously worked as a custodial supervisor at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. He was first drawn to SWO because of his love of Snowbird’s mission to disciple students and faithfully teaching the Word, as well as the strong community the staff share!

Samuel has a long history of coming to SWO. He first came as a camper from 2015 to 2017 and then as a church leader from 2018 to 2024.
Since March 2025, Samuel has managed our waste management and pest control areas and led a crew of intern guys. This past summer he also worked with the LMNT program, where he especially enjoyed teaching and investing in those guys.

“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!”

“There is no real comparing the love of God to any other kind of love. The love of the Lord is steadfast and loyal. It is a covenant-keeping love. It’s unshakeable, unmoveable, indestructible.

“What attracted me to Snowbird was the strong Biblical community that the staff had and the focus on driving the gospel to the hearts of others… The reason I work at Snowbird is the way everyone is working together towards the same goal. I view Snowbird staff like a well-oiled machine whose only goal is to share the Gospel, and every role is working towards that goal, whether you’re building cabins or cleaning bathrooms. We all work towards the same thing, and that’s sharing the good news of Jesus.”

Mike Fitzpatrick, our program production assistant, is originally from Gulfport, Mississippi, and is an online student at Judson College (SEBTS).

When asked what excites him about serving at SWO, Michael replied, “I get excited about working for Snowbird because of the relational ministry that we get to continue to do through our love for the Gospel.

He has worked with students for two summers, in 2025 and 2026. As a program production assistant, Moxon plans events for retreats and builds the event schedule.

“Snowbird has one of the purest and most straightforward missions of any ministry out there. I know that SWO is the groundwork of the Gospel, and because of that mission, we will continue to be a Gospel-centered and Gospel-driven ministry that will continue to share the truth of Jesus Christ for years to come.”

“The community and discipleship first attracted me to Snowbird. I love the teaching, but the value placed on building relationships brought me back for another summer and intern year. The bold preaching of the Gospel and relational aspects of SWO are what keep me excited to serve here. Getting to see the Lord change lives and grow my own faith is so encouraging, which is why I love the role I get to serve in.”

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.

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.”

Ashley Fitzpatrick is married to Michael Fitzpatrick, and serves as our assistant manager in the Hospitality department. She first visited SWO as a chaperone in 2021. Ashley is originally from Harrisville, Mississippi, and worked at several other camps before SWO. Then, in 2023-2025, she joined our Summer Staff program.

When asked why she chose to serve long-term, she answered, “The Kingdom impact SWO has throughout the whole year. The community aspect and intentionality in building relationships.”

A native of Bedford, VA, Andrew is also pursuing a degree in religion with a focus on Christian ministries. He was a camper from 2016 to 2022, a Summer Staff member in 2023-2025, and a SWO Institute student in 2024-2025.

“What attracted me to Snowbird was the strong Biblical community that the staff had and the focus on driving the gospel to the hearts of others… The reason I work at Snowbird is the way everyone is working together towards the same goal. I view Snowbird staff like a well-oiled machine whose only goal is to share the Gospel, and every role is working towards that goal, whether you’re building cabins or cleaning bathrooms. We all work towards the same thing, and that’s sharing the good news of Jesus.”

Mike Fitzpatrick, our program production assistant, is originally from Gulfport, Mississippi, and is an online student at Judson College (SEBTS). He was a supervisor for UPS for three years, and started serving at Snowbird in 2024. Before that, he attended SWO summers as a camper since 2015.

When asked what excites him about serving at SWO, Michael replied, “I get excited about working for Snowbird because of the relational ministry that we get to continue to do through our love for the Gospel. I love SWO’s mission because we get to serve people and be a ministry that pours into others and makes disciples.”

Moxon Riggan is from Spokane, Washington, and moved to Tallahassee, Florida, in the fall of 2024, where he first heard about Snowbird from friends and his church. Moxon never came to Snowbird as a camper — he arrived to work here in the summer of 2025, right after graduating from high school, and then spent a year in the Snowbird Institute to grow deeper in his faith. He has worked with students for two summers, in 2025 and 2026. As a program production assistant, Moxon plans events for retreats and builds the event schedule.

“Snowbird has one of the purest and most straightforward missions of any ministry out there. I know that SWO is the groundwork of the Gospel, and because of that mission, we will continue to be a Gospel-centered and Gospel-driven ministry that will continue to share the truth of Jesus Christ for years to come.”

Avery Colvert is originally from Statesville, NC, and is pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice at Appalachian State University.

“The community and discipleship first attracted me to Snowbird. I love the teaching, but the value placed on building relationships brought me back for another summer and intern year. The bold preaching of the Gospel and relational aspects of SWO are what keep me excited to serve here. Getting to see the Lord change lives and grow my own faith is so encouraging, which is why I love the role I get to serve in.”

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.

Brandon Crocker served on SWO Summer Staff from 2003 to 2005 while he was a student at Toccoa Falls College. Brandon graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor’s degree in Student Ministry.

Brandon and Jenny have two children: Jaden and Branson.

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.

Ashley Fitzpatrick is married to Michael Fitzpatrick, and serves as our assistant manager in the Hospitality department. She first visited SWO as a chaperone in 2021. Ashley is originally from Harrisville, Mississippi, and worked at several other camps before SWO. Then, in 2023-2025, she joined our Summer Staff program.

When asked why she chose to serve long-term, she answered, “The Kingdom impact SWO has throughout the whole year. The community aspect and intentionality in building relationships.”

Morgan Fridley, recreation manager, joined our full-time team in 2021, after completing 2 years in the Snowbird Institute. She plays an integral role in the upkeep and management of recreation at SWO, training our staff as facilitators, performing maintenance on equipment, and supervising operations.

The Lord saved Morgan at Snowbird right before her senior year of high school, and she has had a desire to serve in the ministry ever since. Throughout her time at SWO, Morgan has learned how to study and teach the Bible, live in Biblical community, and disciple other believers. 

Morgan holds a bachelor’s degree in Sports and Health Science and is pursuing a master’s degree in Biblical Education and Christian Counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

“The community and discipleship first attracted me to Snowbird. I love the teaching, but the value placed on building relationships brought me back for another summer and intern year. The bold preaching of the Gospel and relational aspects of SWO are what keep me excited to serve here. Getting to see the Lord change lives and grow my own faith is so encouraging, which is why I love the role I get to serve in.”

Zach Mabry, came to Snowbird in 2000 as a Summer Staff member and joined the full-time staff in 2002. A native of Florence, Kentucky, he holds a Bachelor of Science in Religion from Liberty University, and a Master of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

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.

Brandon Crocker served on SWO Summer Staff from 2003 to 2005 while he was a student at Toccoa Falls College. Brandon graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor’s degree in Student Ministry. After finishing his degree, Brandon and his wife, Jenny, relocated from Wisconsin to Andrews, North Carolina, so they could volunteer at Snowbird. They both worked several jobs in the community, until Brandon joined the full-time staff in 2006. 

Snowbird is committed to serving the Gospel through faithfulness to Scripture. Relationships are forged and the faithful preaching of life-changing truths is reaching the hearts of today’s youth. As our facilities director, Brandon oversees construction, grounds, maintenance, and housekeeping. He approaches every day as an opportunity to support and further the mission of SWO.

Brandon and Jenny have two children: Jaden and Branson.

Chad first came to SWO to help us with some specific construction projects, then eventually moved his family to work here full-time. 

What excites Chad the most about SWO are the core values and the mission statement, because they urge us all to equip the Church to proclaim Christ in everything. Chad is married to Jill and they have 4 children: Cole, Kaitlyn, Cody, and Kora.

Adam Long is originally from Griffin, Georgia, and spent 20 years working in Atlanta as a union wireman. He and his wife, Tiffani, have been married since 1997.

He handles the electrical side of camp and serves on the maintenance and facilities team.

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 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!”

“I loved the community aspect of it. Everyday at work feel like I am hanging out with friends and working towards a task, even if that task has you covered in crap from head to toe! Snowbird is Gospel-driven, everything we do is Kingdom work. With that in mind, working here is an honor!”

Ashley Fitzpatrick is married to Michael Fitzpatrick, and serves as our assistant manager in the Hospitality department. She first visited SWO as a chaperone in 2021. Ashley is originally from Harrisville, Mississippi, and worked at several other camps before SWO. Then, in 2023-2025, she joined our Summer Staff program.

When asked why she chose to serve long-term, she answered, “The Kingdom impact SWO has throughout the whole year. The community aspect and intentionality in building relationships.”

Morgan Fridley, recreation manager, joined our full-time team in 2021, after completing 2 years in the Snowbird Institute. She plays an integral role in the upkeep and management of recreation at SWO, training our staff as facilitators, performing maintenance on equipment, and supervising operations.

The Lord saved Morgan at Snowbird right before her senior year of high school, and she has had a desire to serve in the ministry ever since. Throughout her time at SWO, Morgan has learned how to study and teach the Bible, live in Biblical community, and disciple other believers. 

Morgan holds a bachelor’s degree in Sports and Health Science and is pursuing a master’s degree in Biblical Education and Christian Counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Now, Joseph is a crucial part of the SWO grounds team, working alongside grounds manager Shawn Clark to care for the property at camp.

His first experience with SWO came through attending a Be Strong men’s conference in 2020 with a friend, and that began a rich journey of growth for their family. 

“Snowbird was the first place that I had ever been where the people teaching and leading were guys that I could relate to. I was drawn to the realness of the ministry and the fact that it seemed completely genuine and raw.”

“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.”

Nikki holds a Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Brandon Crocker served on SWO Summer Staff from 2003 to 2005 while he was a student at Toccoa Falls College. Brandon graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor’s degree in Student Ministry. After finishing his degree, Brandon and his wife, Jenny, relocated from Wisconsin to Andrews, North Carolina, so they could volunteer at Snowbird. They both worked several jobs in the community, until Brandon joined the full-time staff in 2006. 

Snowbird is committed to serving the Gospel through faithfulness to Scripture. Relationships are forged and the faithful preaching of life-changing truths is reaching the hearts of today’s youth. As our facilities director, Brandon oversees construction, grounds, maintenance, and housekeeping. He approaches every day as an opportunity to support and further the mission of SWO.

Brandon and Jenny have two children: Jaden and Branson.

Chad first came to SWO to help us with some specific construction projects, then eventually moved his family to work here full-time. 

What excites Chad the most about SWO are the core values and the mission statement, because they urge us all to equip the Church to proclaim Christ in everything. Chad is married to Jill and they have 4 children: Cole, Kaitlyn, Cody, and Kora.

Adam Long is originally from Griffin, Georgia, and spent 20 years working in Atlanta as a union wireman. He and his wife, Tiffani, have been married since 1997. 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 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 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 is originally from Marietta, Georgia, and previously worked as a custodial supervisor at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. He was first drawn to SWO because of his love of Snowbird’s mission to disciple students and faithfully teaching the Word, as well as the strong community the staff share!

Samuel has a long history of coming to SWO. He first came as a camper from 2015 to 2017 and then as a church leader from 2018 to 2024.
Since March 2025, Samuel has managed our waste management and pest control areas and led a crew of intern guys. This past summer he also worked with the LMNT program, where he especially enjoyed teaching and investing in those guys.

“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!”

Allison Yates is originally from Plant City, Florida, and holds a master’s degree in Kinesiology. She first came into contact with SWO during our 2023 College Retreat, began serving on our Summer Staff a few months later, and now serves as our Hospitality Manager. 

“I loved the community aspect of it. Everyday at work feel like I am hanging out with friends and working towards a task, even if that task has you covered in crap from head to toe! Snowbird is Gospel-driven, everything we do is Kingdom work. With that in mind, working here is an honor!”

Ashley Fitzpatrick is married to Michael Fitzpatrick, and serves as our assistant manager in the Hospitality department. She first visited SWO as a chaperone in 2021. Ashley is originally from Harrisville, Mississippi, and worked at several other camps before SWO. Then, in 2023-2025, she joined our Summer Staff program.

When asked why she chose to serve long-term, she answered, “The Kingdom impact SWO has throughout the whole year. The community aspect and intentionality in building relationships.”

Morgan Fridley, recreation manager, joined our full-time team in 2021, after completing 2 years in the Snowbird Institute. She plays an integral role in the upkeep and management of recreation at SWO, training our staff as facilitators, performing maintenance on equipment, and supervising operations.

The Lord saved Morgan at Snowbird right before her senior year of high school, and she has had a desire to serve in the ministry ever since. Throughout her time at SWO, Morgan has learned how to study and teach the Bible, live in Biblical community, and disciple other believers. 

Morgan holds a bachelor’s degree in Sports and Health Science and is pursuing a master’s degree in Biblical Education and Christian Counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Landen is a native of Tullahoma, Tennessee. He came to Snowbird first as a camper in 2020 and worked on the LMNT team in 2023. Now, he serves as our Recreation Assistant Manager and AVL Lead Technician during our worship services. He handles all of our audio and visual production needs and leads our intern team that supports that. Like the rest of our staff team, Landen loves the non-stop ministry opportunities and personal growth that working at Snowbird offers.

When asked why he chose to join SWO, he replied, “everything I do at SWO has a Gospel impact on thousands of people taking them from death to life.”

Shawn Clark was SWO’s first hired full-time staff member.

Joseph is a native of Concord, NC, and joined our team in the fall of 2024. Prior to joining SWO, he worked over 11 years in the design-build construction industry and specialized in heavy highway work as a roadway superintendent. Now, Joseph is a crucial part of the SWO grounds team, working alongside grounds manager Shawn Clark to care for the property at camp.

His first experience with SWO came through attending a Be Strong men’s conference in 2020 with a friend, and that began a rich journey of growth for their family. 

“Snowbird was the first place that I had ever been where the people teaching and leading were guys that I could relate to. I was drawn to the realness of the ministry and the fact that it seemed completely genuine and raw.”

“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.”

Joseph and his wife, Ashley, were married in 2012 and have 4 kids: Levi, Sawyer, Paisley, and Emmalyn.

Haley Hack is from Louisville, KY. She first came to Snowbird for four years as a camper. “Hack” (as her friends call her) first worked in 2019 on Summer Staff. She then returned home and earned an associates degree in Criminal Justice. Hack wanted to serve in a community that both pointed her to Christ and equipped her with workplace and ministry skills. In 2020, she returned to SWO and applied for the Snowbird Institute program.

Hack served with Americorps in Murphy, NC, for a year before returning to work at SWO in the summer of 2022. After working her third summer, Hack began leading our Gear Store and Snack Shack. In addition to her Snack Shack role, Hack helps our Institute students apply for educational grants with Americorps. She also oversees the SWO Underground prayer chapel, its maintenance, and updates.

What excites Chad the most about SWO are the core values and the mission statement, because they urge us all to equip the Church to proclaim Christ in everything. Chad is married to Jill and they have 4 children: Cole, Kaitlyn, Cody, and Kora.

Adam Long is originally from Griffin, Georgia, and spent 20 years working in Atlanta as a union wireman. He and his wife, Tiffani, have been married since 1997. 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 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 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 is originally from Marietta, Georgia, and previously worked as a custodial supervisor at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. He was first drawn to SWO because of his love of Snowbird’s mission to disciple students and faithfully teaching the Word, as well as the strong community the staff share!

Samuel has a long history of coming to SWO. He first came as a camper from 2015 to 2017 and then as a church leader from 2018 to 2024.

“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!”

Ashley Fitzpatrick is married to Michael Fitzpatrick, and serves as our assistant manager in the Hospitality department. She first visited SWO as a chaperone in 2021. Ashley is originally from Harrisville, Mississippi, and worked at several other camps before SWO. Then, in 2023-2025, she joined our Summer Staff program.

When asked why she chose to serve long-term, she answered, “The Kingdom impact SWO has throughout the whole year. The community aspect and intentionality in building relationships.”

Morgan Fridley, recreation manager, joined our full-time team in 2021, after completing 2 years in the Snowbird Institute. She plays an integral role in the upkeep and management of recreation at SWO, training our staff as facilitators, performing maintenance on equipment, and supervising operations.

The Lord saved Morgan at Snowbird right before her senior year of high school, and she has had a desire to serve in the ministry ever since. Throughout her time at SWO, Morgan has learned how to study and teach the Bible, live in Biblical community, and disciple other believers. 

Morgan holds a bachelor’s degree in Sports and Health Science and is pursuing a master’s degree in Biblical Education and Christian Counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Now, Joseph is a crucial part of the SWO grounds team, working alongside grounds manager Shawn Clark to care for the property at camp.

His first experience with SWO came through attending a Be Strong men’s conference in 2020 with a friend, and that began a rich journey of growth for their family. 

“Snowbird was the first place that I had ever been where the people teaching and leading were guys that I could relate to. I was drawn to the realness of the ministry and the fact that it seemed completely genuine and raw.”

“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.”

Joseph and his wife, Ashley, were married in 2012 and have 4 kids: Levi, Sawyer, Paisley, and Emmalyn.

Haley Hack is from Louisville, KY. She first came to Snowbird for four years as a camper. “Hack” (as her friends call her) first worked in 2019 on Summer Staff.

In 2020, she returned to SWO and applied for the Snowbird Institute program.

Hack served with Americorps in Murphy, NC, for a year before returning to work at SWO in the summer of 2022. After working her third summer, Hack began leading our Gear Store and Snack Shack.

Andy served as general manager of John Henry’s in Rome and as a sous chef at WinShape Retreat, the Chick-fil-A Foundation’s marriage and camp facility, and he has catered weddings and large corporate events.

Andy never came to Snowbird as a camper. He attended one Be Strong men’s conference in the fall of 2012 and posted on Facebook that he would love to cook here one day. Twelve years later that became reality, and he and his wife, Kate, joined our staff in 2024.

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.

Andy and Kate were married in 2013, and have 5 children: Ava, Olivia, Audrey, Andrew and Matthew.

He has worked with students for two summers, in 2025 and 2026. As a program production assistant, Moxon plans events for retreats and builds the event schedule.

“Snowbird has one of the purest and most straightforward missions of any ministry out there.

Getting to see the Lord change lives and grow my own faith is so encouraging, which is why I love the role I get to serve in.”

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.

Brandon Crocker served on SWO Summer Staff from 2003 to 2005 while he was a student at Toccoa Falls College. Brandon graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor’s degree in Student Ministry. After finishing his degree, Brandon and his wife, Jenny, relocated from Wisconsin to Andrews, North Carolina, so they could volunteer at Snowbird. They both worked several jobs in the community, until Brandon joined the full-time staff in 2006. 

Snowbird is committed to serving the Gospel through faithfulness to Scripture. Relationships are forged and the faithful preaching of life-changing truths is reaching the hearts of today’s youth. As our facilities director, Brandon oversees construction, grounds, maintenance, and housekeeping. He approaches every day as an opportunity to support and further the mission of SWO.

Brandon and Jenny have two children: Jaden and Branson.

Chad first came to SWO to help us with some specific construction projects, then eventually moved his family to work here full-time. 

What excites Chad the most about SWO are the core values and the mission statement, because they urge us all to equip the Church to proclaim Christ in everything. Chad is married to Jill and they have 4 children: Cole, Kaitlyn, Cody, and Kora.

Adam Long is originally from Griffin, Georgia, and spent 20 years working in Atlanta as a union wireman. He and his wife, Tiffani, have been married since 1997. 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 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 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 is originally from Marietta, Georgia, and previously worked as a custodial supervisor at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. He was first drawn to SWO because of his love of Snowbird’s mission to disciple students and faithfully teaching the Word, as well as the strong community the staff share!

Samuel has a long history of coming to SWO. He first came as a camper from 2015 to 2017 and then as a church leader from 2018 to 2024.
Since March 2025, Samuel has managed our waste management and pest control areas and led a crew of intern guys. This past summer he also worked with the LMNT program, where he especially enjoyed teaching and investing in those guys.

“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!”

Allison Yates is originally from Plant City, Florida, and holds a master’s degree in Kinesiology. She first came into contact with SWO during our 2023 College Retreat, began serving on our Summer Staff a few months later, and now serves as our Hospitality Manager. 

“I loved the community aspect of it. Everyday at work feel like I am hanging out with friends and working towards a task, even if that task has you covered in crap from head to toe! Snowbird is Gospel-driven, everything we do is Kingdom work. With that in mind, working here is an honor!”

Ashley Fitzpatrick is married to Michael Fitzpatrick, and serves as our assistant manager in the Hospitality department. She first visited SWO as a chaperone in 2021. Ashley is originally from Harrisville, Mississippi, and worked at several other camps before SWO. Then, in 2023-2025, she joined our Summer Staff program.

When asked why she chose to serve long-term, she answered, “The Kingdom impact SWO has throughout the whole year. The community aspect and intentionality in building relationships.”

Morgan Fridley, recreation manager, joined our full-time team in 2021, after completing 2 years in the Snowbird Institute. She plays an integral role in the upkeep and management of recreation at SWO, training our staff as facilitators, performing maintenance on equipment, and supervising operations.

The Lord saved Morgan at Snowbird right before her senior year of high school, and she has had a desire to serve in the ministry ever since. Throughout her time at SWO, Morgan has learned how to study and teach the Bible, live in Biblical community, and disciple other believers. 

Morgan holds a bachelor’s degree in Sports and Health Science and is pursuing a master’s degree in Biblical Education and Christian Counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Landen is a native of Tullahoma, Tennessee. He came to Snowbird first as a camper in 2020 and worked on the LMNT team in 2023. Now, he serves as our Recreation Assistant Manager and AVL Lead Technician during our worship services. He handles all of our audio and visual production needs and leads our intern team that supports that. Like the rest of our staff team, Landen loves the non-stop ministry opportunities and personal growth that working at Snowbird offers.

When asked why he chose to join SWO, he replied, “everything I do at SWO has a Gospel impact on thousands of people taking them from death to life.”

Joseph is a native of Concord, NC, and joined our team in the fall of 2024. Prior to joining SWO, he worked over 11 years in the design-build construction industry and specialized in heavy highway work as a roadway superintendent. Now, Joseph is a crucial part of the SWO grounds team, working alongside grounds manager Shawn Clark to care for the property at camp.

His first experience with SWO came through attending a Be Strong men’s conference in 2020 with a friend, and that began a rich journey of growth for their family. 

“Snowbird was the first place that I had ever been where the people teaching and leading were guys that I could relate to. I was drawn to the realness of the ministry and the fact that it seemed completely genuine and raw.”

“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.”

Joseph and his wife, Ashley, were married in 2012 and have 4 kids: Levi, Sawyer, Paisley, and Emmalyn.

Haley Hack is from Louisville, KY. She first came to Snowbird for four years as a camper. “Hack” (as her friends call her) first worked in 2019 on Summer Staff. She then returned home and earned an associates degree in Criminal Justice. Hack wanted to serve in a community that both pointed her to Christ and equipped her with workplace and ministry skills. In 2020, she returned to SWO and applied for the Snowbird Institute program.

Hack served with Americorps in Murphy, NC, for a year before returning to work at SWO in the summer of 2022. After working her third summer, Hack began leading our Gear Store and Snack Shack. In addition to her Snack Shack role, Hack helps our Institute students apply for educational grants with Americorps. She also oversees the SWO Underground prayer chapel, its maintenance, and updates.

Hack continues to be a part of Snowbird because she wants to be a part of the Lord’s clear work in the lives of students.

Andy Miller is from Rome, Georgia, and has worked in kitchens since he was 13, starting as a dishwasher and working his way up to sous chef before earning an associate degree in culinary arts from Le Cordon Bleu in Atlanta. He has held every back-of-house position in the industry. Andy served as general manager of John Henry’s in Rome and as a sous chef at WinShape Retreat, the Chick-fil-A Foundation’s marriage and camp facility, and he has catered weddings and large corporate events.

Andy never came to Snowbird as a camper. He attended one Be Strong men’s conference in the fall of 2012 and posted on Facebook that he would love to cook here one day. Twelve years later that became reality, and he and his wife, Kate, joined our staff in 2024.

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.

Andy and Kate were married in 2013, and have 5 children: Ava, Olivia, Audrey, Andrew and Matthew.

She has a master’s in Biology and would love to work in healthcare later down the road.

At SWO, she helps coordinate our meals and building flow when we’re in the middle of retreats and camp weeks.

“The community and discipleship first attracted me to Snowbird. I love the teaching, but the value placed on building relationships brought me back for another summer and intern year. The bold preaching of the Gospel and relational aspects of SWO are what keep me excited to serve here. Getting to see the Lord change lives and grow my own faith is so encouraging, which is why I love the role I get to serve in.”

Zach Mabry, came to Snowbird in 2000 as a Summer Staff member and joined the full-time staff in 2002. A native of Florence, Kentucky, he holds a Bachelor of Science in Religion from Liberty University, and a Master of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

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.

Brandon Crocker served on SWO Summer Staff from 2003 to 2005 while he was a student at Toccoa Falls College. Brandon graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor’s degree in Student Ministry. After finishing his degree, Brandon and his wife, Jenny, relocated from Wisconsin to Andrews, North Carolina, so they could volunteer at Snowbird. They both worked several jobs in the community, until Brandon joined the full-time staff in 2006. 

Snowbird is committed to serving the Gospel through faithfulness to Scripture. Relationships are forged and the faithful preaching of life-changing truths is reaching the hearts of today’s youth. As our facilities director, Brandon oversees construction, grounds, maintenance, and housekeeping. He approaches every day as an opportunity to support and further the mission of SWO.

Brandon and Jenny have two children: Jaden and Branson.

Chad first came to SWO to help us with some specific construction projects, then eventually moved his family to work here full-time. 

What excites Chad the most about SWO are the core values and the mission statement, because they urge us all to equip the Church to proclaim Christ in everything. Chad is married to Jill and they have 4 children: Cole, Kaitlyn, Cody, and Kora.

Adam Long is originally from Griffin, Georgia, and spent 20 years working in Atlanta as a union wireman. He and his wife, Tiffani, have been married since 1997. 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 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 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 is originally from Marietta, Georgia, and previously worked as a custodial supervisor at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. He was first drawn to SWO because of his love of Snowbird’s mission to disciple students and faithfully teaching the Word, as well as the strong community the staff share!

Samuel has a long history of coming to SWO. He first came as a camper from 2015 to 2017 and then as a church leader from 2018 to 2024.
Since March 2025, Samuel has managed our waste management and pest control areas and led a crew of intern guys. This past summer he also worked with the LMNT program, where he especially enjoyed teaching and investing in those guys.

“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!”

Allison Yates is originally from Plant City, Florida, and holds a master’s degree in Kinesiology. She first came into contact with SWO during our 2023 College Retreat, began serving on our Summer Staff a few months later, and now serves as our Hospitality Manager. 

“I loved the community aspect of it. Everyday at work feel like I am hanging out with friends and working towards a task, even if that task has you covered in crap from head to toe! Snowbird is Gospel-driven, everything we do is Kingdom work. With that in mind, working here is an honor!”

Ashley Fitzpatrick is married to Michael Fitzpatrick, and serves as our assistant manager in the Hospitality department. She first visited SWO as a chaperone in 2021. Ashley is originally from Harrisville, Mississippi, and worked at several other camps before SWO. Then, in 2023-2025, she joined our Summer Staff program.

When asked why she chose to serve long-term, she answered, “The Kingdom impact SWO has throughout the whole year. The community aspect and intentionality in building relationships.”

Morgan Fridley, recreation manager, joined our full-time team in 2021, after completing 2 years in the Snowbird Institute. She plays an integral role in the upkeep and management of recreation at SWO, training our staff as facilitators, performing maintenance on equipment, and supervising operations.

The Lord saved Morgan at Snowbird right before her senior year of high school, and she has had a desire to serve in the ministry ever since. Throughout her time at SWO, Morgan has learned how to study and teach the Bible, live in Biblical community, and disciple other believers. 

Morgan holds a bachelor’s degree in Sports and Health Science and is pursuing a master’s degree in Biblical Education and Christian Counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Like the rest of our staff team, Landen loves the non-stop ministry opportunities and personal growth that working at Snowbird offers.

When asked why he chose to join SWO, he replied, “everything I do at SWO has a Gospel impact on thousands of people taking them from death to life.”

Joseph is a native of Concord, NC, and joined our team in the fall of 2024. Prior to joining SWO, he worked over 11 years in the design-build construction industry and specialized in heavy highway work as a roadway superintendent. Now, Joseph is a crucial part of the SWO grounds team, working alongside grounds manager Shawn Clark to care for the property at camp.

His first experience with SWO came through attending a Be Strong men’s conference in 2020 with a friend, and that began a rich journey of growth for their family. 

“Snowbird was the first place that I had ever been where the people teaching and leading were guys that I could relate to. I was drawn to the realness of the ministry and the fact that it seemed completely genuine and raw.”

“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.”

Joseph and his wife, Ashley, were married in 2012 and have 4 kids: Levi, Sawyer, Paisley, and Emmalyn.

Haley Hack is from Louisville, KY. She first came to Snowbird for four years as a camper. “Hack” (as her friends call her) first worked in 2019 on Summer Staff.

In 2020, she returned to SWO and applied for the Snowbird Institute program.

Hack served with Americorps in Murphy, NC, for a year before returning to work at SWO in the summer of 2022. After working her third summer, Hack began leading our Gear Store and Snack Shack. In addition to her Snack Shack role, Hack helps our Institute students apply for educational grants with Americorps. She also oversees the SWO Underground prayer chapel, its maintenance, and updates.

He has held every back-of-house position in the industry. Andy served as general manager of John Henry’s in Rome and as a sous chef at WinShape Retreat, the Chick-fil-A Foundation’s marriage and camp facility, and he has catered weddings and large corporate events.

Andy never came to Snowbird as a camper. He attended one Be Strong men’s conference in the fall of 2012 and posted on Facebook that he would love to cook here one day. Twelve years later that became reality, and he and his wife, Kate, joined our staff in 2024.

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.

Andy and Kate were married in 2013, and have 5 children: Ava, Olivia, Audrey, Andrew and Matthew.

She has a master’s in Biology and would love to work in healthcare later down the road.

At SWO, she helps coordinate our meals and building flow when we’re in the middle of retreats and camp weeks.

He and his wife, Quinn, were married in 2025.

Carter Warn is originally from Madison, Wisconsin. He came to Snowbird on Summer Staff in 2025 and stayed on as an intern through the summer of 2026 before joining our full-time staff. Carter is the lead video producer on our media team, where he manages, shoots, and edits video projects while leading a highly skilled team of video producers. In the summers he also gets to disciple high schoolers on the LMNT team. Carter is engaged.

“What keeps me here is the work, along with the community. This is the most fulfilling work I’ve ever gotten to do. The media work we do here really makes a difference for the Kingdom, and the team I’m on is amazing.”

Andrew Dowd, content creator, joined the SWO Institute program after attending SWO as a teenager from 2016-2022. Now, he builds visual content for our media team.

A native of Bedford, VA, Andrew is also pursuing a degree in religion with a focus on Christian ministries. He was a camper from 2016 to 2022, a Summer Staff member in 2023-2025, and a SWO Institute student in 2024-2025.

“What attracted me to Snowbird was the strong Biblical community that the staff had and the focus on driving the gospel to the hearts of others… The reason I work at Snowbird is the way everyone is working together towards the same goal. I view Snowbird staff like a well-oiled machine whose only goal is to share the Gospel, and every role is working towards that goal, whether you’re building cabins or cleaning bathrooms. We all work towards the same thing, and that’s sharing the good news of Jesus.”

Mike Fitzpatrick, our program production assistant, is originally from Gulfport, Mississippi, and is an online student at Judson College (SEBTS). He was a supervisor for UPS for three years, and started serving at Snowbird in 2024. Before that, he attended SWO summers as a camper since 2015. Michael married his wife, Ashley, in 2025, and she serves as the assistant manager on our hospitality team.

When asked what excites him about serving at SWO, Michael replied, “I get excited about working for Snowbird because of the relational ministry that we get to continue to do through our love for the Gospel. I love SWO’s mission because we get to serve people and be a ministry that pours into others and makes disciples.”

Moxon Riggan is from Spokane, Washington, and moved to Tallahassee, Florida, in the fall of 2024, where he first heard about Snowbird from friends and his church. Moxon never came to Snowbird as a camper — he arrived to work here in the summer of 2025, right after graduating from high school, and then spent a year in the Snowbird Institute to grow deeper in his faith. He has worked with students for two summers, in 2025 and 2026. As a program production assistant, Moxon plans events for retreats and builds the event schedule.

“Snowbird has one of the purest and most straightforward missions of any ministry out there. I know that SWO is the groundwork of the Gospel, and because of that mission, we will continue to be a Gospel-centered and Gospel-driven ministry that will continue to share the truth of Jesus Christ for years to come.”

Avery Colvert is originally from Statesville, NC, and is pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice at Appalachian State University. She first came to Snowbird as a camper in 2018, joined our staff team through the LMNT high school program in 2023, and served on Summer Staff in 2024. Avery was a student in the Snowbird Institute from 2024 to 2026, and now supports our marketing and production team on a daily basis, including putting together our newsletters.

“The community and discipleship first attracted me to Snowbird. I love the teaching, but the value placed on building relationships brought me back for another summer and intern year. The bold preaching of the Gospel and relational aspects of SWO are what keep me excited to serve here. Getting to see the Lord change lives and grow my own faith is so encouraging, which is why I love the role I get to serve in.”

Zach Mabry, came to Snowbird in 2000 as a Summer Staff member and joined the full-time staff in 2002. A native of Florence, Kentucky, he holds a Bachelor of Science in Religion from Liberty University, and a Master of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Zach serves as worship leader for the SWO band, session speaker for summer camp and retreat seasons, and is the director of the Snowbird Institute Program.

He and Rocky have four children: Parker, Samuel, Jackson and Ella.

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.

Brandon Crocker served on SWO Summer Staff from 2003 to 2005 while he was a student at Toccoa Falls College. Brandon graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor’s degree in Student Ministry. After finishing his degree, Brandon and his wife, Jenny, relocated from Wisconsin to Andrews, North Carolina, so they could volunteer at Snowbird. They both worked several jobs in the community, until Brandon joined the full-time staff in 2006. 

Snowbird is committed to serving the Gospel through faithfulness to Scripture. Relationships are forged and the faithful preaching of life-changing truths is reaching the hearts of today’s youth. As our facilities director, Brandon oversees construction, grounds, maintenance, and housekeeping. He approaches every day as an opportunity to support and further the mission of SWO.

Brandon and Jenny have two children: Jaden and Branson.

Chad first came to SWO to help us with some specific construction projects, then eventually moved his family to work here full-time. 

What excites Chad the most about SWO are the core values and the mission statement, because they urge us all to equip the Church to proclaim Christ in everything. Chad is married to Jill and they have 4 children: Cole, Kaitlyn, Cody, and Kora.

Adam Long is originally from Griffin, Georgia, and spent 20 years working in Atlanta as a union wireman. He and his wife, Tiffani, have been married since 1997. 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 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 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 is originally from Marietta, Georgia, and previously worked as a custodial supervisor at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. He was first drawn to SWO because of his love of Snowbird’s mission to disciple students and faithfully teaching the Word, as well as the strong community the staff share!

Samuel has a long history of coming to SWO. He first came as a camper from 2015 to 2017 and then as a church leader from 2018 to 2024.
Since March 2025, Samuel has managed our waste management and pest control areas and led a crew of intern guys. This past summer he also worked with the LMNT program, where he especially enjoyed teaching and investing in those guys.

“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!”

Allison Yates is originally from Plant City, Florida, and holds a master’s degree in Kinesiology. She first came into contact with SWO during our 2023 College Retreat, began serving on our Summer Staff a few months later, and now serves as our Hospitality Manager. 

“I loved the community aspect of it. Everyday at work feel like I am hanging out with friends and working towards a task, even if that task has you covered in crap from head to toe! Snowbird is Gospel-driven, everything we do is Kingdom work. With that in mind, working here is an honor!”

Ashley Fitzpatrick is married to Michael Fitzpatrick, and serves as our assistant manager in the Hospitality department. She first visited SWO as a chaperone in 2021. Ashley is originally from Harrisville, Mississippi, and worked at several other camps before SWO. Then, in 2023-2025, she joined our Summer Staff program.

When asked why she chose to serve long-term, she answered, “The Kingdom impact SWO has throughout the whole year. The community aspect and intentionality in building relationships.”

Morgan Fridley, recreation manager, joined our full-time team in 2021, after completing 2 years in the Snowbird Institute. She plays an integral role in the upkeep and management of recreation at SWO, training our staff as facilitators, performing maintenance on equipment, and supervising operations.

The Lord saved Morgan at Snowbird right before her senior year of high school, and she has had a desire to serve in the ministry ever since. Throughout her time at SWO, Morgan has learned how to study and teach the Bible, live in Biblical community, and disciple other believers. 

Morgan holds a bachelor’s degree in Sports and Health Science and is pursuing a master’s degree in Biblical Education and Christian Counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Landen is a native of Tullahoma, Tennessee. He came to Snowbird first as a camper in 2020 and worked on the LMNT team in 2023. Now, he serves as our Recreation Assistant Manager and AVL Lead Technician during our worship services. He handles all of our audio and visual production needs and leads our intern team that supports that. Like the rest of our staff team, Landen loves the non-stop ministry opportunities and personal growth that working at Snowbird offers.

When asked why he chose to join SWO, he replied, “everything I do at SWO has a Gospel impact on thousands of people taking them from death to life.”

Shawn Clark was SWO’s first hired full-time staff member. Coming on board in 2000, he served as Maintenance and Grounds Supervisor until Snowbird’s year-round missions program was created in 2005 when he became its director. A native of Roxboro, North Carolina, Shawn coordinates and oversees mission groups and projects, ensuring everyone served through SMO is cared for throughout the year. 

Originally from Tullahoma, Tennessee, Bethany joined the Snowbird team in 2003. In 2004 Shawn and Bethany married.

James first attended Snowbird as a student and started working on our Summer Staff after he graduated high school in 2010. He later joined our year-round staff in 2014. James grew up in a Christian home and has heard the Gospel for as long as he can remember.

Joseph is a native of Concord, NC, and joined our team in the fall of 2024. Prior to joining SWO, he worked over 11 years in the design-build construction industry and specialized in heavy highway work as a roadway superintendent. Now, Joseph is a crucial part of the SWO grounds team, working alongside grounds manager Shawn Clark to care for the property at camp.

His first experience with SWO came through attending a Be Strong men’s conference in 2020 with a friend, and that began a rich journey of growth for their family. 

“Snowbird was the first place that I had ever been where the people teaching and leading were guys that I could relate to. I was drawn to the realness of the ministry and the fact that it seemed completely genuine and raw.”

“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.”

Joseph and his wife, Ashley, were married in 2012 and have 4 kids: Levi, Sawyer, Paisley, and Emmalyn.

Haley Hack is from Louisville, KY. She first came to Snowbird for four years as a camper. “Hack” (as her friends call her) first worked in 2019 on Summer Staff. She then returned home and earned an associates degree in Criminal Justice. Hack wanted to serve in a community that both pointed her to Christ and equipped her with workplace and ministry skills. In 2020, she returned to SWO and applied for the Snowbird Institute program.

Hack served with Americorps in Murphy, NC, for a year before returning to work at SWO in the summer of 2022. After working her third summer, Hack began leading our Gear Store and Snack Shack. In addition to her Snack Shack role, Hack helps our Institute students apply for educational grants with Americorps. She also oversees the SWO Underground prayer chapel, its maintenance, and updates.

Hack continues to be a part of Snowbird because she wants to be a part of the Lord’s clear work in the lives of students.

Andy Miller is from Rome, Georgia, and has worked in kitchens since he was 13, starting as a dishwasher and working his way up to sous chef before earning an associate degree in culinary arts from Le Cordon Bleu in Atlanta. He has held every back-of-house position in the industry. Andy served as general manager of John Henry’s in Rome and as a sous chef at WinShape Retreat, the Chick-fil-A Foundation’s marriage and camp facility, and he has catered weddings and large corporate events.

Andy never came to Snowbird as a camper. He attended one Be Strong men’s conference in the fall of 2012 and posted on Facebook that he would love to cook here one day. Twelve years later that became reality, and he and his wife, Kate, joined our staff in 2024.

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.

Andy and Kate were married in 2013, and have 5 children: Ava, Olivia, Audrey, Andrew and Matthew.

Mikaila Howell, our Kitchen Manager, is a native of Lucedale, Mississippi and has a long history with Snowbird. She first came as a camper from 2010 to 2014, worked as a Summer Staff member in 2022, and has been serving as a part of our full-time staff since then.

She has a master’s in Biology and would love to work in healthcare later down the road.

At SWO, she helps coordinate our meals and building flow when we’re in the middle of retreats and camp weeks.

A South Georgia native, Madeliene attended Snowbird’s summer camp as a student from 2008-2013. After the Lord saved her during her first week at summer camp in 2008, she knew that she wanted to be a part of Snowbird’s ministry in the future. She served on our Summer Staff from 2014-2018 and then worked as an instructor for our former wilderness discipleship program (OLD School) from 2017-2018.

Snowbird has played a significant role in Madeliene’s life by grounding her in sound biblical doctrine and teaching the importance of personal Bible study, prayer, discipleship, and community for believers. She is thankful that the Lord has allowed her to be a part of the ministry that changed her life and continues to impact the lives of countless others through the power of God’s Word.

Madeliene holds a bachelor’s degree in Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies and a minor in Environmental Science from Emory University.

After six years, he and Billie Fay uprooted their lives and relocated to Andrews, North Carolina, to bring their vision of Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters to life. In 1997, the first group of students rolled onto the Snowbird property.

On Monday, August 22, 2022, Steve Coleman, went to be with the Lord. 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. In light of his passing into the presence of our Savior, we wanted to take some time to celebrate his life and legacy.

The Big Kahuna was a larger-than-life personality with a contagious love for God and His Word.
