Cody grew up in Wheatland, Wyoming, and moved to Arkansas to attend Ouachita Baptist University, where he earned a degree in Christian Studies while simultaneously wrestling for the Tigers. While at Ouachita, he met his wife, Lexis, who now serves as an elementary school teacher. He later earned his Master of Divinity from Baylor University’s Truett Theological Seminary.

Cody has spent several years serving in student ministry across churches in Arkansas and Texas. He is passionate about helping students build a deep, lasting faith rooted in Scripture and grow into Christlike maturity. He believes student ministry is a vital season for shaping lifelong disciples of Jesus. Cody and Lexis are also foster parents, reflecting their shared desire to love and serve vulnerable children in their community. They are excited to invest in the students and families of the church and see what God will do in the days ahead!
