About My Family
My family is my main support. I have been married to Liz for almost 19 years, and we have two children, Joshua who is 17 years old and is in college, and the precious baby, Victoria, is 6 months old. They bless my life with their support and continual encouragement.
About My Ministry
I surrendered to God’s call to ministry 20 years ago. In this time I have pastored several churches from Brazil, Louisiana and California. In the past 14 years, we have the privilege to pastor First Baptist Church Converse, La., and Temple Avenue Baptist Church, Calif., while serving our country as an SBC-endorsed law enforcement officer (deputy-sheriff chaplain) and Army Reserve chaplain.
As of early 2025, God called us to continue to serve Him by transitioning our ministry to Active Duty military chaplaincy. We were assigned to Alaska and have been serving our Lord as the Battalion Chaplain of the 2/377th Parachute Field Artillery Regiment PFAR, 2-11 Airborne Division.

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.
