About My Family
Saved by grace while growing up in Missouri, we enjoy ministry wherever the Lord leads us. Today, the location is the St. Louis area. Jennifer and I have been married for more than 25 years and began our ministry experience as church planters to Michigan in 2003.
In 2006, I entered the Army as a Chaplain. In total, I have deployed four times on a variety of peacekeeping, combat and humanitarian missions with the U.S. Army.
Julia, our oldest child and our only daughter, suffers from an autoimmune disorder known as NMO. After years of serious illness, she is doing well today, having recently married and is in college studying journalism.
Jadon and Joshua, our two sons, are doing well. Jadon is training to be a paramedic. Joshua enjoys playing saxophone in jazz band.

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.
