About My Family
After completing my undergraduate studies in biology, I made the decision to accept a missionary placement to Jackson Hole, Wyo., working with a local church in the resort and leisure community. During the years of seminary after my commitment in Jackson, I completed a Master of Christian Education degree, entered the blessing of marriage to my wife and was introduced to the possibility of becoming a paid missionary in a resort and leisure destination community.
Never was there a calling, rather a series of options and following the next right idea. Twelve years later, I continue to greet the day’s work with passion. It excites me to know I am empowered through the Spirit’s work in my life to reveal the presence of God to those who live, work and play in the resort and leisure lifestyle surrounding the place of The Dollywood Company.

About My Ministry
When employees arrive on the job at one of our many Dollywood properties, they bring with them everything that is going on in their lives anything from the joy of an upcoming marriage, to a nagging problem with anxiety. These things inevitably affect their job performance. Chaplains provide a unique level of care by responding to individual and family needs as well as work/life concerns, such as job stress and career, to those who live, work and play in the resort and leisure industry.
As the company chaplain, I offer workplace ministry programs, opportunities for worship leadership, pastoral care, prayer, representation at life-moments and counseling in the workplace. The problems and concerns we may face in our personal lives do affect our work performance.
