About My Family

I am a Christian, a husband and the father of three. I love the outdoors and spending time with my family, traveling and having adventures!

I’m an Alabama native and a graduate of Samford University and Beeson Divinity School.

About My Ministry

I am currently serving as an SBC-endorsed healthcare chaplain in palliative care. I also serve as an Air National Guard chaplain.

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 open hearts among the people to whom I minister. Pray people will come to saving faith in Jesus. Pray more will become missionaries and chaplains.

Participate

Pray about whether God is calling YOU to serve as a chaplain! Connect with chaplains and their families in your community and build a mutually supportive relationship between them and your church. Send resources that support a chaplain’s ministry context. Pray for chaplains and their families.
NAMB does not provide compensation for SBC endorsed chaplains. However, a general fund is available to receive donations in support of the ministry and pastoral care to SBC endorsed chaplains. To donate, please visit Support Chaplaincy (missionaries.namb.net/projects/full/chaplaincy).
