About My Family
I was born and raised in Fernandina Beach, Fla. At the age of 18, I left Florida to attend Mobile College. It was there that I met Sonya, fell in love, married, and was blessed with my first child, Jennifer. Secondary to that fact, Sonya and I earned our Bachelor of Arts degrees in 1984—mine in religion and English and Sonya in psychology and sociology.
From there, we went to New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary where I received my Master of Divinity degree and was blessed by the birth of our second daughter, Ashley.
In 2007, I received my Doctor of Divinity degree from New Orleans Baptist Seminary.
Jennifer is now married to Rob Carr and has one daughter, Hayes. Ashley is now married to Jon Andrews and has two daughters, Lucy and Lily.

About My Ministry
I am currently serving as the pastor of First Baptist Church in Dadeville, Ala. I am an SBC-endorsed chaplain for the Dadeville Police Department and the Dadeville High School football team. I serve as a disaster relief chaplain and as a member of the Alabama Law Enforcement Alliance for Peer Support.
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.
