About My Family

My family and I attend Cartersville First Baptist Church of Georgia, where we have been actively involved members for more than 12 years.

My wife, Amber, and I have two wonderful children, Corbin and Drake. Amber has been an educator in our public schools for more than 25 years. After a 20-year career in law enforcement, I was able to retire and continue to pursue the Lord’s calling.

About My Ministry

I am an SBC-endorsed disaster relief chaplain with the Georgia Baptist Disaster Relief. I have had the privilege and honor of serving with Georgia Baptist Disaster Relief since 2022.

As a chaplain with Disaster Relief, I am able to help bring physical help to people experiencing a crisis, but more importantly, I have the opportunity to bring lasting hope and healing through the gospel of Jesus Christ. I have been deployed because of floods, tornados, hurricanes, and even a terrible and tragic event at one of our public schools.

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.

Pray

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