About My Family

I am married to Suzanne, and we are parents of three children and have two grandchildren.

About My Ministry

I serve in the Alabama Army National Guard as an SBC-endorsed chaplain. I minister to soldiers in my unit by providing pastoral counseling, religious services and moral/spiritual 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, 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.

Pray

Pray that I share the gospel with clarity, compassion, conviction and courage. Pray people will come to hear the gospel and place their faith in Jesus. Pray for more to become missionaries and chaplains.
