An Indiana native, Garth graduated from Indiana Vocational Technical College with an associate degree in fire science in 1992.
As a member of Christ United Methodist Church (CUMC) since 1987, Garth is a certified lay speaker and is a candidate for local lay pastor.

Garth is also on the board of directors of the Greater Indianapolis Area Emmaus.
God led Garth to full-time service as a missionary with OMS where he soon hopes to be fully funded so he can begin leading people on short-term mission trips. He retired after 21 years in the fire service to answer God’s call.
