Vince Nims

Affectionately known as "The Banana Guy," Vince Nims is a popular and talented musician, songwriter and youth minister. Hard working and seemingly always on the road, Vince speaks and performs at liturgy and youth events throughout the country.

He lives in Fremont, California, with his wife, Kim, and daughter, Veronica.
