Phone:  480.752.8993

Mr. Hinkley grew up in the Portland Metro area in Oregon where he first claimed Jesus as savior at age 18. Graduating from Tualatin High School as an IB Student and International Thespian with honors in Theatre, even getting an invite to the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, due to difficult life circumstances, he missed his invite to join AMDA and (fortunately) instead he jumped into Youth Ministry after high school where he spent a total of eleven years as either paid staff, or curriculum and event planner for Youth ministries across 2 churches in that 11 years.

Near the end of which he would meet his wife (whom he also shared a high school and graduation with – never knowing her in that time), get married, have a daughter, move to Arizona (where he felt God calling him to) and eventually finding Valley!

Here he is reuniting his theatric history with his desire to help others know God. Having done digital artistry via work with youth groups and having attended art courses before at a collegiate level, he also has an aptitude for creativity and imagination and turning it into artwork. He did Portland theater in several productions and even was an extra on a movie set. He loves travel, camping, amusement parks, board games and video games – and of course, puts his faith in God and love for Jesus at the center of all he does.

Thanks to God’s blessings, he in the process of moving into a house and plans to resume his college journey immediately after.
