My name is Ryan Pugh, and I am serving Grace Crossing at the Student Minister. My wife, Tristiana, and I come from First Baptist Church Gardendale, Alabama. I served there for the last three years as Guys minister in the student ministry, while in college at UAB. I am a 2019 graduate of Jasper High in Jasper, Alabama. I will be finishing my degree in Mathematics at UAB online then plans to continue my education in seminary. 
Tristiana is from New Albany, MS, and is pursuing her degree in pharmaceuticals at UMMC. She has also been active in ministry at First Baptist Gardendale as an intern, and has served several summers as a Centrifuge Camp staffer and counselor.
