About My Family
We are a family of three. Tracey and I have a 3-year-old daughter, Mira. We just finished one active duty assignment at Fort Campbell, Ky., and now we are getting warmed up at Fort Rucker, Ala., with our new assignment for the next 2+ years.
I joined the Army Reserve as a Chaplain Candidate in 2011, and since then we have moved four times and been through two deployments. I love sports, cooking, woodworking, outdoor activities and hanging out with my beloved family.
My wife, Tracey, loves tatting, knitting, baking, homeschooling our little girl and spending time with us. Our daughter, Mira, loves dinosaurs, singing songs, dressing up and playing toss with her daddy.
God has been incredibly good to us for the past 10 years of our marriage. We continue to trust that He will be by our side no matter where we go.

About My Ministry
I am an SBC-endorsed Active Duty Army Chaplain. We still consider ourselves new to the military, though it has been almost 10 years. We are transferring from Fort Campbell, Ky., to Fort Rucker, Ala.
The three years we had at Fort Campbell were probably the most intense time in our ministry thus far. With one deployment, multiple casualties and thousands of counseling sessions, I found chaplaincy ministry extremely needed in the Army. We are now at Fort Rucker where they train and certify helicopter pilots. The pace has significantly slowed, but we find plenty of opportunities to preach the gospel and reach out to local communities.
Tracey has been an active member of Protestant Women of the Chapel, and together we provide as much ministry as possible to all the men and women in service as well as their families.

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 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.
