About My Family
I am the SBC-endorsed chaplain for the Furman University Police Department in Greenville, S.C., and a current International Conference of Police Chaplains (ICPC) member. I retired from the Greenville Police Department in 2022 after 25 years of service and started at Furman University after retiring to become the training lieutenant. I was asked to be the chaplain for the department and accepted the call in July 2023.
I have four grown children and eight grandchildren. I am blessed to have a wonderful wife who shares our empty nest and helps keep me in line.

About My Ministry
I became the chaplain for the Furman University Police Department in August of 2023. I have been working on training in 2023 and completed basic and liaison training with ICPC in 2024.
I am pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Biblical Exposition in Practical Ministry from Andersonville Theological Seminary. I obtained an associate’s degree in biblical studies from Andersonville in 2007.
I am very excited to serve in this capacity and pray to be a blessing to those I serve.

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.
