About My Family

I am a husband to Terron, daddy to Gabe and Hazel, and a joyful brother to all children of the King. We are a traveling family, serving the Lord in the U.S. and currently living in the Pacific Northwest. It is amazing to see the Lord at work in America and the the world.

In the past five years, we have participated and worked in Hobbs, N.M. (Taylor Memorial Baptist); Manchester, N.H. (FaithBridge Church); Sharon, Conn. (Friendship Baptist); Issaquah, Wash. (Summit Life); Send Baltimore (the Broken Wall Project and Agape Praise Fellowship); Maple Valley, Wash. (Hope Fellowship); Baptist Convention of New England; and annual trips to churches and church leaders across northern Tanzania, Africa.

I attend Midwestern Theological/Spurgeon College where I am a dual major. I'll finish my first degree in December of 2021 with highest honors.

About My Ministry

The Lord Almighty gave me the courage to leave my restaurant career to be humbly engaged everywhere while following our heavenly Father and His mission to reveal His glory to the nations. As a community service chaplain, the Lord opens doors in the communities of the world because He has "created all things," according to Revelation 4:11, "and because of His will they exist."

God's power has unlocked paths and taken me into prisons, jails, homeless shelters and nursing facilities. I have served in Disaster Relief, strengthening church's benches, building friendships with pastors, promoting small group accountability, participating in church plant missions, international church planting and discipling. I am always available and willing to learn and participate.

SBC Chaplaincy

Chaplaincy is a vital frontline ministry and extension of the local church.
