Tina was born in Korea and grew up in a military family before settling in the suburbs of Atlanta. She and her husband, Chad, who also serves on staff, were married in 2005 and have two wonderful teenage daughters. Before joining the staff at CHBC as a counselor, Tina and her family served in cross-cultural ministry for 15 years, including Atlanta, Asia and the Middle East.

She and her family love taking walks outside, especially with their dog, Scrumpy, and she benefits greatly from her husband's love for specialty coffee in the morning.
