About My Family
I was born again by God’s gracious love on Easter Sunday, 2013. Two years later, I felt called by God to pursue Christian ministry. The Lord then directed my steps to receive a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies from the Master’s University and a Master of Arts in Intercultural Studies from Gateway Seminary while serving at an SBC church.
My church eventually affirmed my calling to Christian ministry and ordained me in 2022 to serve full-time as one of its elders. A few years later, I married my best friend in January 2026. Besides loving God by serving others in ministry, I enjoy trail running, reading books by old dead people, and spending time outdoors with my wife.

About My Ministry
God has called me to imitate His Son by the Spirit’s power, both as a pastor at my local church and as a chaplain candidate in the U.S. Army Reserve. In both ministry contexts, I am committed to God’s mission of making disciples from every nation, tribe, and tongue, which is also His vision. Therefore, I desire to preach the gospel of Christ-crucified with both my words and actions, refreshing the hearts of Christians toward Christlikeness and leading the lost to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
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, healthcare settings, correctional facilities, 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.
