About My Family
God has blessed me with a wonderful wife and family. My wife, Pam, and I have been married 37 years, with six great children and 10 beautiful grandchildren. I am a retired police officer while Pam is still working with St. Thomas Heart in Nashville. Thankfully God has been good to us through the years. He has made us desire to share His Word every day.
About My Ministry
I’m an SBC-endorsed law enforcement chaplain. When I retired from the police department, I still had more to give. So God led me to become a chaplain. I currently serve as one of the chaplains with the Gallatin Police Department. I am blessed to be associated with such professional, kind and caring officers.
On the other end of the spectrum, I also represent my church with the Men of Valor program. That program is a blessing to me as well. I now have an opportunity to share the gospel with men who are incarcerated and who are probably hearing God’s Word for the first time.

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.
