No one is a founder.
We are all builders.
We are who we are because of the people who have poured their lives into ours. At Congruency, we feel a deep responsibility and burden to honor what others have sacrificed for us to become the people we are today.
Congruency is built upon the foundation that people—like you—have laid for us to build on. It is our attempt to honor those who have helped us become who we are.
Thank you for being who you are because, without you—we would not be who we are!"
Josh Lindblom
Builder and Coach
After a life of playing professional baseball, Josh quickly realized he had nothing on his resume between "player here" and "player there." He felt a deep longing to discover who he had been created to be so that he could do what he had been designed to do. After being guided through retirement by a coach and having numerous discussions with friends and teammates, he realized that the longing he felt also resided deep and unsurfaced in the hearts of everyone he talked to. Congruency quickly changed from something he wanted to do to something he had to do.
Josh is married to his high school sweetheart, Aurielle. They have four children. He enjoys getaway weekends with his wife, coaching his kids and their friends in any and every sport, and hosting friends for any and every reason—like a spontaneous Royal Rumble party.
Josh has a Master’s in Biblical Studies (MABS), a personal and leadership development certification from Leader Breakthru, and an Associate Certified Coach certification (ACC) from the International Coaching Federation.
Josh’s greatest passion is walking alongside others as they discover who they are and decide to make the courageous choice to align who they are with what they do each day of their lives.
Michael Maiocco
Builder, Visionary, Creator
After injuries abruptly ended his brief career in professional baseball, Michael found himself piecing together the fragments of his life, unsure of how, or if, they would ever fit together. During this season, he met Josh, and through many conversations, the seeds of Congruency began to take root in his mind as he pursued a vocational path as a creative and an academic journey in theological studies, which eventually converged in his work with non-profits.
Michael is married to Kristen. He holds a BA in Graphic Design, an MATS and MDiv in Theology, a ThM with a focus on Theology and the Arts, and a certificate in Strategic Storytelling from Cornell University. His passion for creative storytelling is reflected in his role as head of studio at Wolf & Child, where he is committed to bridging the gap between imagination and reality, the present world and the one to come, inviting others to experience its beauty even amid life’s challenges.
Tyler Keele
Builder and Coach
Tyler was drafted by the Diamondbacks in 2016 and played three seasons throughout the farm system.
Tyler longs to help people see themselves (and others) as Jesus sees them and unleash the courage within them to be everything God has made them to be. He loves teaching and helping others discover these three questions: Who is Jesus? Who are you (because of Jesus)? Who are you not (uncovering the voices of lies and shame)?
Tyler lives in Knoxville, TN with his wife Colbey, two daughters, Elsie and Adeline, and son, Cohen.
