About My Family
I trusted Christ as my Lord and Savior at the age of 8. My whole life and ministry has been in the Southern Baptist denomination. I have been privileged to serve through local churches as well as chaplaincy positions.
I have been married for more than 37 years to Charlene. Charlene and I have three adult children and one grandson with another on the way! We have settled in the Nashville, Tenn., area. I enjoy playing golf, reading and family time.

About My Ministry
I am an SBC-endorsed volunteer chaplain with the United States Secret Service, the Metro Nashville Police Department, and a disaster relief chaplain. Additionally, I’m a trainer of chaplains for the Alabama State Board of Missions and Tennessee Baptist State Board of Missions. Chaplaincy ministry has been very challenging and rewarding. I am currently serving as the senior pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Madison, Tenn.
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.
