About My Family
I am an SBC-endorsed, active duty Army Chaplain. I was born in the Chicago area and have been married to my wife, Rebecca, for more than 30 years. We have four boys, and we love Jesus. “For he himself bore our sins in his body on that tree that we might die to sin and live for [him] (1 Peter 2:24).
Before active duty, I served as a an associate pastor in the Chicagoland Area. I have been serving the SBC community since 2003 and serving with NAMB since 2008.

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, correctional facilities, healthcare settings, 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.
