Team myXP 

Executive Director

  • Tyler is an Executive Pastor (XP) who has served in the role for the last 15+ years and loves it. Where most people’s eyes glaze over at the first mention of expense management, strategic planning, and hospitality ministries, he and the myXP team get excited in the same way a preacher does in the pulpit.

    After a successful run in the secular marketplace doing exactly this kind of thing, Tyler discovered that where he really came alive was when he used his God-given gifts in the service of His church. He has a deep conviction that details matter greatly and that it’s critical we honor God and the people we serve with excellence in these areas.

    Tyler has been blessed to serve as an XP in a variety of churches, both as a lay leader and as a full-time vocational pastor. He spent seven years as the XP in a church plant in the Midwest, spent 18 months as XP of a church of 1,000+ people in the South, and in the winter of 2017 moved across the country and serves as an XP at a new church plant in Salt Lake City, UT. He is also the co-host of From the Field Podcast, a podcast helping ministry leaders think differently, thrive personally, and lead thoughtfully. What he's most grateful for about these varied experiences is that he understands the practicalities of getting a new church up and running smoothly, and he recognizes how to best serve a rapidly-growing, established church as well.

    Tyler's heart is to come alongside you and your church through myXP to help you build the most faithful and fruitful church possible.

Director of Operations

Erin Davis

  • Erin brings over 14 years of experience in operational leadership within both corporate and ministry settings. She’s passionate about using her background as both an operative and creative to collaborate with leaders to build faithful and fruitful ministries.

    Erin has served in various capacities within the church as well as corporate executive leadership. She considers herself a driven, innovative “force multiplier” with a passion for empowering others.

    Outside of work, Erin enjoys a good cup of coffee, coaching youth sports, and traveling with her husband helping lead worship at various churches. Though she plays a variety of instruments, her primary is the drums.

    She is excited to come alongside the team at myXP to help tackle challenges and equip pastors to focus on the things that make the most impact.

Ryan Huguley

  • Ryan is a church planter, preacher, and author with 17 years of ministry experience.
