“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’” Matthew 28:18-20 // The Great Commission

Meet Johnathan Ballinger! 👋🏻

Johnathan serves as an IT Support Tech at Fort Bluff, where he has been a key member of the team for nearly three years. Johnathan’s journey with the organization began in the summer of 2023, when he initially served as an office assistant before transitioning into his current technical role.

His professional background is diverse, featuring six years of experience in the automotive industry followed by two years in California working for a tech startup. This unique combination of hands-on mechanical work and startup innovation provided a strong foundation for his current responsibilities at Fort Bluff.

Johnathan is deeply committed to the organization’s mission of bettering individuals and groups through positive, uplifting messages and faith-based outreach. He prides himself on being part of a team that works collaboratively toward the single goal of enhancing the camp experience for every visitor.

Today we continue with Brian Wilson! 🧑🏼‍🍳

Brian Wilson serves as the Assistant of Food Services at Fort Bluff, where he brings a diverse professional background and a deep-seated commitment to youth development. With over two years of experience at the camp — including more than a year in his current full-time capacity — Brian is a central figure in the Fort Bluff community.

His professional journey is marked by significant experience in both service and logistics. Before joining the camp full-time, Brian owned and operated a landscaping company for a decade. His career also includes tenures at Southern Champion Tray, Coca-Cola, and JB Hunt Transportation. A former student-athlete, he attended Hiwassee College, where he played baseball for three years.

At Fort Bluff, Brian combines his professional skills with his personal passions. He is the camp’s resident expert for on-site BBQ, personally smoking the meats and chicken for visiting groups. Driven by a desire to provide children with transformative experiences, he also occasionally assists with grounds maintenance, drawing on his ten years of professional landscaping expertise.

Brian’s work at the camp is an extension of his long-standing mission to support and guide young people. For a decade, he and his wife have served as foster parents for the State of Tennessee, reflecting their dedication to helping children who may have lost their way.

A resident of Dayton for 24 years, Brian lives just five minutes from the camp. His connection to Fort Bluff is a family affair; his wife and five daughters have all worked at the camp over the past ten years. In his spare time, he enjoys working on model trains. 🚂🧑🏼‍🍳👏🏻

Thanks for all you do, Brian!
