About My Family
I have been married for more than 27 years to my beautiful wife, Caroline. Together we have three children: a college sophomore, a high-school senior and a young preteen. Our family has enjoyed homeschooling and being part of different homeschool communities, as the Lord moves us to new duty stations.
I previously served in full-time vocational ministry for more than 15 years in Florence, S.C., before entering the Navy as a Chaplain. The past duty stations include Naval Station Great Lakes, Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base and Naval Construction Battalion Gulfport.

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 the using agency 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.
