Playgroup Coordinator
Tessa Faga
Hi, I’m Tessa Faga (fayga) – wife, mom to two energetic boys, and a CrossFit enthusiast with a passion for intentional living and big dreams. A few years ago, my husband and I made one of the biggest decisions of our lives: we sold our landscaping and CrossFit businesses to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a physician. With full hearts and full faith, we went all in and today, he’s entering his second year of medical school at UNMC. As for me, I’ve stepped into a new season of life at home with our boys and will be starting our homeschooling journey this year. While life looks a lot different than it used to, I’ve never felt more aligned with our purpose and path. I’m so excited for what lies ahead for the challenges, the growth, and the people we’ll meet along the way.
