About My Family
I married my beautiful and gifted wife, Savanna, in 2011. We have three incredible kids, Koda, Willow and Hero. I received a bachelor’s degree from Missouri State University, my church ministry master’s degree from Baptist Bible College and Theological Seminary, and my M.Div. from Mission University and Theological Seminary.
Before coming to Christ, I was an infantry officer with the 101st Airborne Division during the Global War on Terrorism.

About My Ministry

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.
