Brad Zimmer

Area Director | Central Coast

Brad has been on staff with FCA since September 2021. Born and raised on the Central Coast, Brad was a multi-sport athlete in high school before attending college at Point Loma where he graduated with a degree in Business and Nonprofit Administration. Through the influence of mentors and a variety of international experiences, he developed a heart for ministry and serving others.
Brad's favorite part about working for FCA is discipling young men, being able to coach basketball, and all the free pizza. He and his wife, Sam, have a 2 year old daughter named Grace and are currently opening up their home through foster care. In his free time, Brad loves to surf, mountain bike, and try new coffee shops with his wife.

Maria Roberts

Area Representative | North County 

Maria first started volunteering with FCA while she was a youth leader with a local church where she led small Bible study groups and discipled young ladies. She currently serves as an Ambassador in the north San Luis Obispo county area by discipling female athletes. 

She grew her roots on the Central Coast when she attended Cal Poly SLO and graduated as a Biological Science Major with a concentration in Marine Biology. Her involvement with collegiate ministries and mission conferences changed the trajectory of her career and life. A heart to disciple the young generation and desire to serve the church lead her to local, international and overseas ministries.

Maria loves a good book, deep conversations, a hike on a beautiful day, and her latest joy playing disc golf. She loves being a mom and enjoys doing life with her young adult children Jahleel and Hallei.

Heather Gray

Admin | Central Coast

Heather began working with Central Coast FCA in March 2024. She was brought to the area for school where she graduated with a degree in Experience Industry Management from Cal Poly. 
Her love for the Lord and heart for the athletic community made taking the job an easy decision. Her prayer for this ministry is to see every athlete come to saving faith in Jesus Christ, and to use their God given gifts to glorify the Lord and extend the Kingdom. 

One of her favorite verses is Ephesians 2:8-9: "For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift, not from works, so that no one can boast."

Landen Miller

Ambassador | San Luis Obispo

Landen began working with FCA in September of 2024. Born and raised on the Central Coast, he played many sports in high school. Landen had the opportunity to play college football at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. He was there for a year when he was called back to the Central Coast and to ministry. He is attending Masters University online and getting his bachelor's degree in biblical studies. He is also an Assistant Coach for Templeton football. Landen is most passionate about discipling young men just as he was discipled by his football coach.


One of his favorite verses is Revelation 1:17-18: "Don’t be afraid. I am the First and the Last, and the Living One. I was dead, but look-I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and Hades.”
