He has a wife who loves him with the fiery passion of a million suns (and is also currently rolling her eyes) and two kids that Toby is trying his darnedest to develop a love and passion for music and the Church…or at the very least, turn off the light when they leave a room! Toby has a strong passion for the Church and worship/tech staff members. He wants to save you from that scary closet full of old gear that haunts the back hallways of every church in America!
