About My Family

I have lived and worked on the Mississippi Gulf Coast for the past 16 years, growing myself and my family as we have established deep roots in our community. My wife and two daughters are my greatest sources of strength and endurance.

About My Ministry

I volunteer with the Coast Guard Auxiliary as a Chaplain and serve not only as a chaplain to the local Coast Guard units, but also function as a member of the senior leadership of the Auxiliary Chaplain Support Program, ensuring that “Coasties” throughout the Gulf Coast are supported and taken care of.

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 are established by the using agency and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.

Pray

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

Participate

Build relationships with chaplains and their families. Send notes of encouragement. Learn birthdays and anniversaries, so you can send cards.
Become personally invested in the ministry of chaplains. Learn about their ministry context, so you can provide relevant help and resources.
