About My Family
My wife and I have four sons and one exceptional daughter-in-law. We grew up in Florida before serving 25 years in the military.
I retired as an Army Chaplain endorsed by NAMB in 2019 and then spent six years as Dean of Spiritual Life and University Chaplain at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, Texas. I recently completed a Ph.D. in Christian leadership at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and my wife is pursuing a Master of Arts in discipleship there. I serve as adjunct faculty at Moldova Bible Seminary in Chisinau, Moldova.
My research interests focus on the intersection between Christian theology and popular leadership theory.

About My Church Plant
I currently serve as executive pastor of Goodwater Church—a church planted on October 5, 2025, in Whitefish, Montana, in partnership with Send Network and the Montana Southern Baptist Convention. Our sending church is First Baptist Church in Georgetown, Texas.
I’m currently endorsed by NAMB as a church-planting team member and an SBC-endorsed public safety chaplain with the Montana Department of Justice and Whitefish Police Department.
