A nickname that started during his time with Saskatchewan has stuck with Cary Koch since moving to Edmonton where he is still affectionately known as “The Butter Tart Kid.’  From the Baton Rouge Advocate staff writer Kyle Pevto has the recipe for Koch’s Butter Tart nickname.

Often he shares his heart and his thoughts with his followers, as he did recently: “When our plans are hindered, we shouldn’t assume that it’s Satan trying to stop us. It might be God trying to protect us.“
