About My Family
I was born and raised in northwest Louisiana, where I live today. I am the youngest of five children. I have been married to my wife, Cindy, since 1987. Our son is married and lives in Texas.
I was saved by the Lord Jesus Christ in April 1983. I was called to preach in the summer of 1983. I have served in five churches, in two associations, and on two committees of the Louisiana Baptist Convention. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Christian Ministry from East Texas Baptist University in 1996 and my Master of Divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2007.
I currently serve as a staff chaplain at a local hospital.
I enjoy camping with my wife, reading, learning about new subjects, playing guitar at a basic-intermediate level, and trying to paint in acrylics.

About My Ministry
I am an SBC-endorsed healthcare and disaster relief chaplain. I was called to preach in 1983. I entered the pastorate in 1991 and served four churches for more than 33 years of pastoral ministry. I entered the chaplain ministry in 2008, becoming a disaster relief chaplain and a corporate chaplain. In 2025, I was called into healthcare chaplaincy.
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.
