About My Family
My wife, Teresa, and I live in Jackson, Mo. We have three adult children and three grandchildren.
I am retired from the Air Force/Air Force Reserve and am also a retired police officer. After retiring I went to seminary, and Teresa, my son and I served as missionaries with Cadence International on the island of Guam. After five years, we returned to the mainland, and I became a chaplain.

About My Ministry
I have been serving as an SBC-endorsed chaplain with the Veterans Health Administration at the second smallest VA hospital in the country. It has been a long journey to get where I am now but, with God in control, it has been a great ride.
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 are established by the using agency and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.
