About My Family
I have been married to my wife, Jo Lynn, for 47 years. We both are actively involved in our home church. We have two sons, and they and their families attend their churches regularly. My daughter and grandson live on our property and attend our church with us as well. My kids have been a good support to me in the ministries in which I have served.
About My Ministry
I have been an SBC-endorsed healthcare chaplain for 21 years at Baylor Scott and White with about 16 years as a hospice chaplain. Additionally, I have pastored Southern Baptist churches for 26 years with the wonderful support of my wife, Jo Lynn.
I serve in a rock and blues Christian band called “10th Leper,” which is a “highways and hedges” band who plays at prisons, drug rehab facilities, secular events that want a Christian influence, outreach ministries and bars, when asked.

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.
