About My Family

I am married to Elizabeth. We have one child, Alice. We enjoy being outside doing anything active (running, hiking, walking).

About My Ministry

I serve in the Kansas Air National Guard at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kan. I’m a Drill Status Guardsman (DSG). In my civilian job, I serve at my church as the director of training.

I lead and teach a theological institute at my local church partnering with Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary/Spurgeon College. I am also a Ph.D. candidate at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, writing on trauma, theology and Herman Bavinck under the supervision of Gregg Allison.

SBC Chaplaincy

Chaplaincy is a vital frontline ministry and extension of the local church. Chaplains reach the lost among the thousands of men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, healthcare settings, correctional facilities, public safety, disaster relief sites, and corporate environments. SBC Chaplains care for the broken, offer hope to the hopeless, and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in hard-to-reach places.

The qualifications expected of a Southern Baptist applying for endorsement as a chaplain or counselor are established by their institution and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy or counseling ministry involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.

Pray

Pray for boldness to share the gospel and open hearts among the people to whom I minister. Pray people will come to saving faith in Jesus. Pray for more to become missionaries and chaplains.
