About My Family
We currently live in the Washington, D.C., area where I serve as the Operations Chaplain for the Defense Health Agency in Falls Church, Va. Michelle and I have been married for 22 years, and we have four wonderful children: Lydia (18), Trinity (15), Moriah (11) and Gabe (9).
Michelle is an awesome stay-at-home-mom and has been homeschooling our children since our youngest began kindergarten.

About My Ministry
I have been serving in the Army as a Chaplain since May 2012. Before entering the Army, I pastored two separate churches in Alabama and Georgia, respectively. My current ministry involves ministering to our Soldiers, DOD civilians and contractors who incorporates the Defense Health Agency. I also serve as the senior pastor of Zama Summit Chapel, which is a contemporary Protestant service located on Camp Zama, Japan I started with another fellow Chaplain back in October 2016.
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.
