About My Family

The Lord has graciously blessed me with a wonderful wife and three children. I like reading, traveling, sightseeing, NASCAR, old movies and spending time with my family and friends.

About My Ministry

I’m currently serving as an SBC-endorsed supervisory chaplain in the VA Medical Healthcare System. It is a privilege to serve the Lord by supporting the spiritual needs of our veterans and their families. Previously, I served as an overseas missionary and a local church pastor for around 25 years.

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 I minister. Pray people will come to saving faith in Jesus. Pray more will become missionaries and chaplains.
