Billy Byrd
Office & Operations Manager
Billy has served our congregation on staff through the office since 2013 as a Swiss army knife, able to do most anything on campus. While working “the list,” Billy assists the leadership here to keep the Sylvan Hills Family connected. Billy also coordinates the facilities calendar and works with Wayne to ensure the facilities are maintained. Billy and his wife Dawn are the parents of three stellar humans named Desiree, Jade, and Spencer. Billy has been employed as a truck driver, security officer, ambulatory technician, sound technician, roadie, forklift operator, and lifeguard among other gigs. A consummate reader, Billy does not know everything about any one thing, but likely knows at least one thing about most everything.
