About My Family
I am grateful to be married to my amazing wife, Gail. We have six children (Sarah, John II, Stephen, Olivia, Grace and Esther), a son-in-law (Sean), two grandsons (Liam and Ezra), a daughter-in-law (Grace) and a granddaughter (Jubilee).
In addition to serving as a chaplain, I also serve as the family and member care pastor at Redemption Church in Lacombe, La. I enjoy playing tennis and pickleball, spending time with my family and time on the beach for a little rest and relaxation.

About My Ministry
I am currently assigned as a Chaplain for the Civil Air Patrol cadet program. As a retired Navy Seabee, the military aspect of this assignment has afforded me credibility among the cadets and Air Force liaisons. As a chaplain I am privileged to be able to minister to cadets, senior members and parents.
My heart is to be a sounding board for truth, the gospel and hope as I teach, lead and counsel.

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.
