Austin, or Tex, to his friends and family, moved to Athens in 2003 to attend the University of Georgia. As a student, Tex fell in love with the city of Athens as well as with his wife, Marissa.

After college, he put his knowledge to use in Mexico working with Hands and Feet Ministries helping to build houses, orphanages, and schools along the Mexican/American border. Since returning to the States, Tex and Marissa have renovated two personal homes.Tex and his family live in the westside Kingswood subdivision. The Bagley’s have three children.
