About My Family
I became a Christian at age 16 when I heard and responded to the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I graduated from the Moody Bible Institute in Pastoral Ministry, Moody Theological Seminary in Masters of Congregational Leadership and finally the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in a Doctorate of Biblical Counseling.
I have assisted in Southern Baptist life in various local, state and national roles. I served in the past on the executive committee at Southwest Baptist University (Bolivar, Mo.) and currently on the board of trustees at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (Kansas City, Mo.). I also have the joy of being on the board of directors for Pastor’s Hope Network. I am also an endorsed church planter of the Pillar Network.
My wife, Kennedi, and I have four children: Kaede, Seiji, Anna and Ren.

About My Ministry
I am an SBC-endorsed healthcare chaplain. I have the honor to be the founding and lead pastor of Sola Church in the Northland of Kansas City. I have served the past 15 years in various pastoral positions at various churches. I am a level II certified biblical counselor with the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors.
I am a contributor to the bi-weekly journal, “Pathway” (Missouri Baptist Convention). I also served as a commissioner for the Missouri Commission of Human Rights and was the vice chairman for 2021. I have been fortunate to publish articles for various websites, several scholarly journal articles, a book review and books such as “Ordinary Radicals: A Return to Christ-Centered Discipleship” and “Making Lemonade: Turning Past Failures into Gospel Opportunities.”

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.
