About My Family
My wife, Lois, and I are retired and have a home in Leesburg, Fla. Lois was widowed and has two grown sons in Kentucky and West Virginia and four grandchildren. I’m divorced with no children. God brought us together in 2018, and we’ll celebrate our seventh anniversary in October 2025.
We are completely of one mind, seeking what God has planned for our life and try to follow His lead every day. We both love missionary work both overseas as well in the U.S. Lois has always enjoyed working with children. I’ve had a passion for senior adults and now I am one. Traveling extensively in our motorhome affords us the opportunity to serve wherever God sends us.

About My Ministry
Other than our local church, I am serving as an SBC-endorsed chaplain. I’m also an assessor with Florida Baptist Disaster Relief Ministries. This has been an extremely rewarding ministry for both of us. Additionally, we do volunteer work in association with Campers on Mission in Florida and other states. We have a motorhome and travel extensively.
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.
