Fernando and Jessica Piñero

Written By Marcus dePaula

Fernando, who is from Buenos Aires, Argentina and Jessica, who is from Washington State, met while living in Jaco, Costa Rica. Fernando is a man of many trades (from bus driving to pizza making) and Jessica, before moving to Costa Rica, worked in the children’s ministry at Chapel Hill PC in Washington. They were married in 2008 and have two wonderful boys, Keoni and Elikai. They enjoy spending time in the outdoors and playing just about anything with their boys. 

Looking back, 14 years ago neither of them would have expected to be where they are now, but God is good at keeping us on the edge of our seats when we put our lives in His hands. From 2008-2020 they have been involved in different types of ministry including church planting, youth ministry, music ministry, administration, short term mission teams, and a Business as Mission project for young men.

They both graduated from ESEPA Seminary in Costa Rica in 2014 with a Bachelor’s in Pastoral Ministries with an emphasis in Cross Cultural Missions. They currently serve in Jaco Beach seeking holistic transformation in the community.

Marcus dePaula
Marcus dePaula got his start working in the music industry serving as the production manager for Cafe Milano in Nashville, TN in the mid-90‘s, and later went on to work for seven years with Clair Bros. Enterprises in Nashville, TN as a touring live audio engineer and systems technician. He developed his technical expertise and troubleshooting skills in the intense and fast pace touring environment, becoming one of the most sought-after monitor engineers in Nashville. He recently spent three semesters teaching the Technical Track at The Contemporary Music Center in Brentwood, TN, where he had the opportunity to share his expertise and experiences with college students pursuing a career in the music industry. After “retiring” from touring in late 2005, Marcus joined the Audio One Nashville team where he was a CEDIA certified Systems Installation Technician specializing in planning and installing professional recording studios and high end home theaters. Marcus later joined the staff of his church, The Village Chapel, serving as Technical Director where he served for seven years. It was there that his interest in web technologies and services was sparked in building The Village Chapel's new website. Since joining Jenn as co-owner of Mixtus Media, Marcus has honed his technical skills in WordPress and Joomla CMS frameworks, graphics and video for the web, along with other web technologies in support of Mixtus Media's services. He is the technical "braun" to Jenn's brains.
