Sometimes we refer to her as “Elmer” because she is literally the glue that holds DBSM together. There are rumors that she was created in a lab where geneticists were working to create a super human that could handle large organizational tasks faster than a cray supercomputer – we believe the rumors are true.
Brittni grew up as a normal child, at least as normal as any child could grow up with the capacity to organize better than Martha Stewart at the Container Store after drinking 8 Red Bulls. We consider her gifts to be just that, a gift, to student ministry here at Denton Bible.
Most people would describe Alexis as a modern day Eva Gabor and her idea of Green Acres is working with Teen Girls and eating frozen yogurt covered in gummy bears and candy corn. She is married to Travis Airington, a love affair that started when they found out they shared a ravenous love for “The Amazing Race”.
Alexis’ bubbly personality and vivacious tenacity have been called, “Frightening!” in some circles, but we consider them perfect for our type of student ministry.
After living on the road as a carny for a number of years Andy’s ride, The Up and Chuck, broke down in Denton, TX at the North Texas Fairgrounds. While trying to find parts to repair his ride, he found his calling. Working with DBSM, rocking out on the guitar and singing praise and worship, things he plans to incorporate into his own carnival that should open in 2015.
With an affinity for numbers and electronics he always felt a little like “Brain” from Pinky and the Brain without the world domination tendencies – at least none have surfaced… yet.
After accidentally being mistaken for Big Foot in the hills of Austin, TX, Eddie relocated to Denton and had laser hair removal on 90% of his body. He worked with High School ministry at Denton Bible Church for 6 years with Keith Chancey and Matt Hilliard and taught them all they know – about break dancing.
Eddie currently lives in Plano and is creating a zip line to Denton for easier commutes – not to mention greener and cleaner for the environment. Still single, he plans on finding love on a reality TV show and proposing one day underwater.
Known mostly for his excellent Betty White impressions, “Vandy” as he is affectionately called by students, is in charge of 7th and 8th grade – when they aren’t in charge of him. With a zany personality that leaves some people wondering if he shouldn’t be wearing a straight jacket, Andy brings a special blend of fun and charisma that appeals to our Junior High Students.
With his wife Kristen and their 3 sons, Andy plans to change the world one day by creating a special form of edible scriptures. A literal “bread of life” if you will. He plans to share the word of Christ one slice at a time.
Jason Preston Fanning grew up with a rifle in his hand and camoflauge paint on his face. At one with nature and all things wild, Jason has been known to smell of deer pheromone and duck feathers. His wife Brittney appealed to him mostly because of her fondness for hunter orange outfits and deer meat. Their idea of a perfect date night is cleaning guns and making duck calls while gnoshing on some homemade deer jerky.
Our fearless Leader Chris Wilson was born and raised in Rhome, Texas. A rogue cowboy that stormed the prarie on horseback and chaps chasing armadillos and possums until he finally roped his wife Joleen who tamed him and they both settled down in student ministry.
Chris loves his son Cuin, working out, and spending time in scripture and in memorizing the ingredients to his favorite cereals.
