With over 30 years of experience ministering to under-resourced communities and those coming out of homelessness and addiction, they bring their passion and experience for disciple making among people with life-controlling issues. Tom first came to Reset in January of this year to serve as Operations Manager. In May, he and Tamera were asked to serve as Interim Co-Executive Directors. We are grateful for the stability and leadership they have provided thus far and look forward to seeing what God does in the future.

Both professional musicians, Tom and Tamera met at the St. Louis Conservatory of Music. Tom spent over 30 years as a French hornist with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Tamera, a pianist, has over 40 years of experience teaching piano. They have three daughters and three sons-in-law who are active in vocational ministry.

As lay leaders, their family has helped plant four new churches since 2001. In 2020, they started Peoples Church House to House, a micro/house church network based on Disciple Making Movements strategies. There, they model, train, send, and support people to make disciples where they live, work, and play. This has led to the establishment of churches within non-faith-based sober living homes.

Nicole comes to Reset from the Life Learning Center, where she was a Volunteer Coordinator and Education Continuum Specialist. Nicole used her education, life and work experience to help hundreds of clients secure employment, discover a true sense of integrity and dignity by empowering each and everyone of them to believe in themselves. She was recognized and regarded as someone who cares and will go the extra mile to help others learn, grow, and pass on what they have learned. When Nicole is not at work, she can be found spending time serving her local church, assisting in prayer teams, mentoring or facilitating small groups. Nicole is an ordained minister and enjoys ministering to others.

JoAnn comes to us from Welcome House, where she led the housing and supportive services team and served as the program coordinator for the women’s and children’s shelters and family shelters. Her commitment resulted in numerous clients overcoming barriers to attain stable homes.

Motivated by personal tragedy, the loss of her sister Christi in 2011, JoAnn channels her deep desire to uplift those affected by addiction, guiding them toward a fulfilling life with Christ.

Outside of her professional pursuits, JoAnn cherishes moments with family, friends, and her dog Holly. She attends Next Chapter Church and is involved with Iron Sharpens Iron Ministry. Her love for live music and game nights reflects her vibrant and social nature.
