Koby grew up in Westchester, CA, in a Christian home and has three brothers. As a freshman in High School, the Lord brought him to Himself by means of Psalm 90:10 and set him on track toward ministry. He later graduated from Multnomah Bible College (now Multnomah University) in Portland, OR with a BA in Biblical Studies and Theology, New Testament Greek, and a Minor in Biblical Hebrew.

He married his lovely wife and best friend Eden in 2013. After living in Portland and then moving back to the South Bay, they decided to set off to Chicago, IL for Bible college and seminary where his wife graduated from Moody Bible Institute and Koby graduated from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School with an M.Div. and an MA in New Testament. He is currently working on his thesis. Koby and Eden live in Old Torrance with their two boys, Haddon and Everest.

They love spending time with family and friends over good coffee, hanging out in Riviera Village, enjoying popcorn and movie nights, ping pong and pickleball, the doctrines of grace, anything related to Charles Spurgeon, classical literature, and all things discipleship.
