About My Family
I was born in Seoul, South Korea. In 1984, I immigrated to Chicago, Ill., grew up and went to college at DeVry University. In 2002, I moved to Mill Valley, Calif., for seminary school.
In 2003, I met my wife and joined the U.S. Air Force (USAF) Individual Mobilization Augmentee reserve Chaplain Candidate program. In 2005, I transferred to USAF Active Duty.
Currently, we have two beautiful children—Timothy (18) in college and Ella (12). We recently moved to Creech Air Force Base (AFB), Nevada, from Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea. We are slowly settling down in a rented house.

About My Ministry
I am an SBC-endorsed Air Force Chaplain. At Creech AFB, we don’t have a chapel on base. Praise God, we didn’t stop worshiping. We have partnered with our helping agencies to use two facilities (north side and south side). We worship weekly on Wednesdays on base and have created two Bible studies.
Monthly, we have volunteers who help with communities. For example, we bring 8–12 volunteers and work with the Salvation Army to provide food to homeless shelters and bring pets to our units to boost morale. We provide two marriage retreats and two airmen retreats throughout the fiscal year. Lastly, we bring our military volunteers to Christian retreat centers and help with outdoor support.

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.
