About My Family
I am a native Mississippian and served 12 years in the Mississippi Army National Guard. I also enjoyed a career as a law enforcement officer prior to surrendering to ministry.
I have a bachelor’s degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and a Master’s of Divinity from Liberty University. I have been married to the love of my life for 28 years, and we have three children. My son and his wife live in Daphne, Ala., and are expecting their first child. My daughter is married to a youth pastor and lives in Ocean Springs, and my youngest daughter is a high school senior. In my spare time, I love working on cars, watching Ole Miss Rebel football, hunting, lifting weights, reading, writing and traveling.

About My Ministry
I have been the chaplain at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Miss., for the past 10 years. I also serve as a Naval Reserve Chaplain. In addition to this, I serve as an SBC-endorsed part-time hospice chaplain and bereavement coordinator for a local hospice company. I have pastored three churches in Mississippi and Georgia.
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, healthcare settings, correctional facilities, 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.
