About My Family

Trina and I were married June 4, 1994. We have two adult children. Our daughter, Moriah, is married to Josiah Yates, and they live in the Toledo area. Our son, Josiah, lives in the Cincinnati area.

I am an avid outdoorsman.

About My Ministry

I was a pastor for 17 years serving near Savannah, Ga., and Milford, Ohio. I have also served on Southern Baptist Disaster Relief teams.

I began to follow Christ as a young sailor in 1990. Today, I am blessed to be a Navy Chaplain! It was my honor to serve as Tactical Chaplain with the Seabees of NMCB-11, Gulfport, Miss., for two years, and now I am blessed to be the Coast Guard Sector Anchorage Chaplain in Alaska!

Throughout my ministry, the Lord has used my love for the outdoors and my skill in hunting as a ministry platform.

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 the using agency 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.

Pray

Pray for boldness to share the gospel and open hearts to receive the Word of Truth. Pray that through my ministry, more people would come to saving faith and become fully devoted followers of Christ. Pray for stamina and longevity for ministry amidst attacks from the enemy.
