staff spotlight

nolan bosher | it & facilities

My name is Nolan Bosher. I joined staff in June of 2022. I grew up in a small town in east Texas called Trinidad where I learned residential construction from my dad. I was homeschooled with my two sisters and went to church in Corsicana where I met my wife Hannah. We moved to Waco in 2012 so I could attend TSTC. We did not intend to stay but have since fallen in love with the community and our church. We have three girls, Ellayna 9, Olivia 8, and Ember who is now 8 months old. One is a philosopher, doctor, and poet. Sitting and contemplating life and all things God. And the other is my adventurer who often grabs a sword and runs outside to kill monsters in her princess dress and heels. The youngest is still a wild card who is quick to laugh and eats everything in sight. On days when I am not at Harris Creek I am normally building or working on special projects at home or going on hikes with my girls.
